Yes, our team of experienced injury attorneys can help you when you’ve been injured by a dog bite or other animal bite. New Orleans animal owners are required to keep their dogs on a leash when outside, and maintain control of their pets. An unattended or out of control animal is a threat to public safety, and it’s vital that community standards are applied in cases where owners are irresponsible and someone gets hurt.
A person whose negligence causes injury to another is liable for damages to cover medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. The law in New Orleans is clear, and for dog and animal owners who don’t properly control and contain their pets, the leash law ordinance may be the least of their worries. You are entitled to compensation when another’s actions cause you or your child injury.
At The Gertler Law Firm, we have helped clients recover millions of dollars in damages when they’ve suffered injuries from someone else’s negligence. If you’ve been hurt by a dog bite or other animal bite, call us today at (504) 475-7788 and talk to an experienced New Orleans injury recovery attorney for free.
