St. Louis Dog Bite Attorney

Have you or a loved one been bitten by a dog in Missouri?

Dogs are very popular household pets and companions across Missouri and the United States.  There are many countless dogs who are safe to be around and do not pose a threat to children or adults who are in the dog's presence.  There is, however, a percentage of dogs who are either already inclined to bite or injure or who have the capability of doing such if not properly controlled or restrained. 

Missouri is a "one-bite state," meaning that the law allows dog owners to avoid liability for the first injury caused by the dog in question (unless the owner's liability can be proved or based upon other circumstances).  The dog owner is liable for any other or subsequent injury after the first caused by that same dog. 

There are, of course, many ramifications and circumstances that could help your attorney prove liability if you have been bitten by a dog.  Your Missouri personal injury attorney should be well-versed in dog bite law and how to handle these cases.  Attorney Zane Cagle has extensive experience handling a wide variety of personal injury cases, including those involving dog bites and animal attacks. 

What can a dog bite lawyer do for me?

Your attorney could be able to get you compensation for your injuries or the injuries to your loved one.  It is an unfortunate fact that the majority of people suffering from dog bite injuries are children and adolescents.  Because of their smaller stature, children often end up with bites to the mouth, lips, cheeks, eyes, nose and other areas of the face and head.  These types of injuries can cost large amounts of money to treat and repair, especially in the delicate eye area or if the injuries require reconstructive surgery.

You owe it to yourself to speak with an experienced lawyer who knows how to handle dog bite cases if you or your child has been bitten by a dog.
