Personal injury law, also known as tort law, is used to help protect you or your property if damaged because of someone else’s actions or negligence. Tort law is based on the premise that the one who caused the harm should be the one who pays for the harm. Although no amount of money can compensate you for some injuries, monetary damages are seen as the only way to compensate the person harmed. Sometimes your insurance policy or another’s will be the party compensating you for the injury, and it is important to understand insurance policies and the legal pitfalls and implications surrounding them.

Recoverable damages include pain and suffering, scarring, and medical bills. If the dog owner has homeowner’s insurance this will often cover the damages, even if the bite occurred outside of the owner’s property. If you have been bitten by a dog it is important to have an attorney discuss the legal issues surrounding your injury.
