Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Dogs are man's best friend – but people should never forget that they are also, animals. Injuries caused by dogs can result in long-term consequences. The experience is traumatic and terrifying.

Our two attorneys have both practiced law for over 20 years, have received the AV–Rating,* and are Certified in Civil Trial Advocacy. Hands–on advocates, they work directly with each client and often form lasting relationships.

At Polito & Quinn, LLC, we handle the most severe dog bite cases. We have represented adults, children and even toddlers who suffered injuries such as:

• Scarring: Natural hunters, dogs often bite the face and hands – very visible body parts. We have handled many cases involving significant facial scarring that dramatically affected the victim's outward appearance and self–image.
• Infection: Contrary to popular belief, dogs do not have cleaner mouths than humans. Not by a long–shot. Dog bites can lead to terrible infections requiring intensive long–term treatment.
• Psychological Damage: When an animal attacks, it turns one of our most primal fears into a reality. Survivors of serious attacks can suffer emotional scars including Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
• Other Injuries: Owners of dogs are liable for any injury caused by a dog.

We will work hard to hold people and companies responsible for injuries caused by their carelessness.

We provide attentive, personalized service to help clients recover compensation and re–adjust to their new lives after their injuries. Personable, attentive, approachable advocates, Attorneys Humbert Polito, and Michael Quinn will respond promptly to any questions or concerns.

We are proud of our long record of successful verdicts and settlements achieved for the benefit of our clients.
