How long would a dog bite legal claim take?
That would depend a lot on the specific circumstances and severity of injuries. There isn’t any fixed time. If injuries are severe, they’ll have to have time to heal and form scars before the medical costs can be assessed. That would be anything up to a year for some people because we all scar in our own individual way. If plastic surgery is required to reduce scarring, that would extend the time needed. If it’s the face that was injured, more cosmetic work may be required to fully repair it than if only an ankle was hurt. Jim Leach has helped many people with dog bite cases, and could give you a rough estimate, based on his experience and on the relevant medical reports.
