Dog Bites Washington DC

Have You Been The Victim Of A Dog Bite Attack In Washington D.C.?

Most dog owners are responsible, animal-loving people who want the best for their pets and, in doing so, what to protect them and others around them. However, some owners are less responsible and allow their dogs undisciplined freedom. This can result in a severe dog attack or bite an innocent victim. Depending on the severity of the attack this could result in high medical costs, permanent damage, pain and suffering, and other damages. If you or a loved one has been involved in this type of attack in Washington D.C., contact the office of Wingfield, Ginsburg & Lipp P.C. so we can help you seek the compensation that you deserve for your case.

Owners Should Be Held Accountable In Dog Attacks In Washington D.C.

While dogs cannot be held accountable for their actions, their owners can certainly be held liable for their dog’s actions. When you hire Wingfield, Ginsburg & Lipp P.C., we will have to prove that a dog owner is liable for the dog bite or attack that occurred. In Washington D.C., the dog owner is responsible for paying for a victim's injuries, even if it is the first time that the dog has bit another person. The attorney will prove the responsibility that the dog owner was the actual owner of the dog at the time of the attack.

Location Where The Dog Bite Took Place

In Washington D.C., it does not matter whether the dog bite occurs on private or public property. The victim can still claim compensation for either location.
