A vicious dog or other animal can inflict extremely serious injury on humans, including scarring, disfigurement, and even death. For this reason, owners and keepers of animals must use reasonable care in controlling those animals so that innocent people will not be harmed. If an owner knows, or has reason to suspect that the animal has dangerous propensities, or has bitten someone before, this may be in violation of specific ordinances, which can help in establishing legal liability later on. Mr. Achrem has personally handled a number of severe attacks on children, including a case this year in which a child's scalp was literally ripped off by a pack of dogs. Ultimately, he was able to establish a very large, structured settlement for the child's benefit, so that she will have a college and medical fund, money to buy a house, money for future surgeries she will require, and substantial monthly payments for the rest of her life. If you have been injured by a vicious animal, you may be able to recover for damages. Those damages might include reasonably necessary medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and emotional distress. If you or someone you know has been attacked or bitten by a vicious dog or other animal, consult an experienced attorney to determine your legal rights and how you can be compensated for your injuries.
