What Compensation is Available to Dog Bite Victims?
Michigan’s personal injury laws provide that fair and equitable damages may be awarded to the victim. Such damages include: • Pain and suffering, • Disfigurement resulting from scars • Medical expenses (we work with several plastic surgeons who can minimize scars) • Wage loss At Hopkins & Forhan, our Michigan dog bite lawyers have nearly 60 years of combined accident injury law experience. We know how to evaluate your dog bite case and gather the needed evidence to bring an effective claim. We will interview witnesses and take pictures of evidence – such as a gate with a broken latch – before witnesses forget and conditions on the premises change. If the victim is a minor child, we have a lot of experience in creating structured settlements to establish an annuity for the child that can accumulate interest tax-free until payments begin after the child reaches age 18.
