Oklahoma Dog Bite Attorney
If you, or a loved one, have recently been bitten by a dog, there are probably many questions running through your mind:
- How am I going to pay for these medical bills?
- How will I recover from this attack?
- Who is responsible for the damages?
- What options do I have legally?
First, know that you have options and Attorney Ray Maples is here to help. Bites from even the smallest of dogs can be extremely painful and potentially disabling. They can leave you with a never ending stream of medical bills and doctor’s fees. Most of all, dog attacks can leave you emotionally traumatized and potentially fearful of any other dog you may encounter - even your own pet! But with proper legal representations, you may be able to collect compensation from the party responsible for the dog’s welfare and potentially much more.
But the time to act is now. Call today at (405) 883-4487 today and schedule a free case consultation with one of our dog bite injury attorneys. Personal injury claims, especially ones concerning dog bite attacks, require immediate attention and a thorough investigation. The longer you wait, the more likely evidence will disappear, witness statements will fade and the statute of limitations will run out. Call today and let us fight for the damages you are owed.
I’ve Been Bitten By A Dog - What Should I Do?
The moments following a dog bite can be truly disorienting. Assuming the trauma was significant enough to warrant medical attention, you more than likely have already been to the emergency room and spoken to the authorities. These are critical steps, and if you have not done so already, we highly recommend speaking with both a police offer and a medical professional as soon as possible. Physically you could be heading off any potential infections or diseases, not to mention permanent scarring, by seeing a doctor. Legally, you are building a case against the owner of the offending dog with medical records, police reports, and other documentation charting your trauma.
Following that, we suggest contacting us as soon as possible. Personal injury claims are won and lost within a few short days following the incident. Attorney Ray Maples can help collect evidence, interview witnesses, and retrieve official reports before they get lost in the shuffle. Let our team do the heavy lifting while you and your family take the time to recover.
What Kind Of Compensation Can I Expect?
Depending on the severity of your injuries, and the toll it took on your everyday life, you may be able to collect in a number of different ways. From economic damages like hospital expenses and specialist fees, to non-economic damages such as emotional pain and suffering, you could be looking at a significant award.
