How soon would I have to file in a dog bite case in New Orleans?

If you’ve been injured by a dog or other animal bite in New Orleans, you have a year from the time it happened to file your case. The sooner you speak to an accident and injury attorney, the better off you’ll be, even if you don’t decide right away to set the case in motion. You can learn about your options, brief an experienced attorney, and have the pieces in place if you do decide to move forward with the lawsuit.

Many people worry that a lawsuit will be too time consuming or too difficult to go through. When you work with a firm that exclusively handles injury cases, you can count on your attorney to respect your time and manage the case for you. You’ll have plenty of notice before meetings or hearings, and if your case advances to trial, an experienced New Orleans injury attorney will make sure you are fully prepared in the event that you have to give testimony.

Dog bite and animal attack lawsuits can be necessary to recover for expenses like medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future medical costs associated with sometimes serious injuries. The Gertler Law Firm helps our clients recover damages when they’ve been injured by the negligence of a pet owner.
