4.5 million Americans are bitten by dogs each year, according to the Centers for Disease Control, and one in five dog bites results in injuries that require medical attention. Each year tens of thousands of dog bite victims undergo costly reconstructive surgery. In some cases, the recovery and rehabilitation period is lengthy.

Our Lewisburg Dog Bite Attorneys Obtain Maximum Compensation for Dog Bite Victims Throughout West Virginia
In 2010, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality indicated that the average cost of a dog bite-related hospital stay was $18,200, approximately 50 percent higher than the average injury-related hospital stay.
Our attorneys have extensive experience handling animal attack cases, so we understand that these events can be emotionally and financially devastating.
We do not hesitate to aggressively pursue the owners of dogs that attack our clients and their animals. In some cases, we can negotiate an out-of-court settlement to compensate our clients fully for their medical bills, emotional distress, pain and suffering, future medical treatment and other expenses related to the attack.
We encourage you to take advantage of our offer of a free initial legal consultation with one of our lawyers, so you can learn about your legal rights and how the West Virginia dog attack law may affect your case. We handle dog bite cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for your injuries.
The rate of dog bite–related injuries is highest among young children. Our Bluefield animal attack attorneys encourage all parents to share dog bite prevention tips with their children.
