Animal Attack Legal Services

Your Legal Options After Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Animals can be wonderful, adorable, and lovable. However, they can also be dangerous. There are far too many people injured by animals in Oklahoma. Whether you've suffered a dog bite or another injury caused by an animal, you should know that you have legal options with help from Smith Barkett Law Group.

Incidents with animals can leave permanent damage for victims. You may suffer from disfigurement or scarring, and the ongoing cost of recovery could be daunting. On top of all that, many people suffer from emotional trauma after their attack. That's why you deserve compensation to help with your recovery.

Fortunately, Oklahoma has laws to support victims of dog bites and animal attacks. If the animal is in the care of someone else, that person can be held responsible for your injuries. Most of the time, victims know the owner, and owners can typically be identified even if the victim was unknown to them previously.

In order to be eligible for compensation, you do not have to show that the dog has a history of aggressive behavior. It's also not necessary to prove the owner knew the animal was aggressive. An animal's past good behavior does not make the owner exempt from liability in these cases.

Dog bites are the most common form of an animal attack, and almost 90% of these attacks involve pit bulls. There are other, more dangerous breeds, but pit bulls have an aggressive history, powerful jaws, and muscular frames. This makes them especially dangerous and increases the risk of serious injury.

Many victims of dog bites are children, and they need all the support possible to recover. Call now to talk to a lawyer and get a free same-day consultation regarding your case.
