Legal Question in Personal Injury in Wisconsin

Re: Son bitten by dog

The prior three answers are all correct. It won't cost you anything up-front to hire an attorney. An attorney will help you discover whether there is insurance to compensate you and your son for his injuries.

Dog Bites Minor Son

Dog bites in WI can be good cases, subject to the owner having prior knowledge of the dog's vicious propensities and contributory negligence (i.e., teasing the dog) by the victim. Homeowners insurance usually covers such losses and such insurance companies are ultimately the ones who usually police repeat offending dogs, threatening to drop insurance if the dog remains. My advice to you in such a scenario would be to retain an experienced lawyer as soon as possible to investigate and evaluate your claim. If there is no response, your only recourse will be to sue.

Re: Son bitten by dog

If there is no response from the dog owner the next step may be to hire an attorney. Most attorneys who handle dog bite cases work on a contingency basis--that means that the attorney does not get paid unless there is a recovery. If the dog owner is "stonewalling" you, that may be the best option. I, and other experienced dog bite lawyers would love to talk to you about this case. Good luck.
