What Damages Can I Recover for a Dog Bite in Evansville?
Dog bite accident victims may suffer losses that fall into two general categories:
- Economic damages: These damages generally have a clear monetary value
- Non-economic damages: These damages do not have a clear monetary value
The types of damages you can get coverage for may depend on whether you file an insurance claim or lawsuit. When bite victims file lawsuits, recoverable damages may include:
Pain and Suffering
Being bitten by a dog causes harm beyond physical injuries. Your harmful encounter with an aggressive dog may:
- Cause you lasting fear of dogs and other animals
- Result in anxiety, depression, and other psychological problems
- Prevent you from owning a dog of your own
- Cause significant physical pain
- Require you to undergo counseling, medication regimens, and other therapies
- Diminish your quality of life
Dogs are a constant presence in Evansville, throughout most of America, and the world. A fear of dogs alone can be debilitating. Any pain and suffering that stems from your bite may entitle you to compensation.
Medical Expenses
The journal Injury Prevention explains that dog bites are associated with high medical costs. Any healthcare costs that you face because of your bite may be recoverable, including:
- X-rays for any broken bones
- Antibiotics
- Stitches for wounds
- Other emergency department procedures
- Surgery
- Follow-up care
These costs can add up quickly. It will be our job to recover them for you.
Professional Harm
Being injured generally causes some degree of professional harm, which can include:
- Lost income, which may be permanent if your bite-related injuries are severe
- Lost earning power, which can occur when you return to work in a lesser capacity
- Lost productivity
- Lost opportunities to earn bonuses and promotions
Professional harm can be both economic and non-economic in nature. If you suffer any other damages, now or in the future, then we’ll include those damages in your case.
A Dog Has Bitten Me or My Loved One. What Should I Do Now?
Some important steps to take after a dog bite accident are:
Getting Information About the Dog and Owner
You’ll want to learn the owner’s name, obtain their contact information, and determine the dog’s inoculation history (including for rabies). You’ll also want to learn whether the dog owner (or guardian) has an insurance policy that could cover your losses.
You may also get the contact information of any witnesses to your dog bite.
Seeking Medical Attention or Your Injuries
Getting medical attention is paramount. Even if the dog owner claims that their dog has its shots, you may want to take precautionary measures. You will also want to document your injuries, showing that they occurred because of the dog bite.
By getting medical attention as soon as possible, you will:
- Protect your health
- Develop an indisputable paper trail of your injuries
- Have a clear path to recovery
Our firm can help you obtain all medical paperwork for your case.
