Idaho Animal Attack Attorney
Two Attorneys with a Combined 60 Years of Experience
If you or your child has been attacked by a dog, there is a chance that the liable party will have an insurance policy that covers such events. However, many factors and variables will likely be present. An experienced personal injury lawyer will be able to help you sort out key questions like:
- Is there insurance compensation available? Often, homeowner's insurance policies exclude dog bites or exclude dog bites from certain breeds like pit bulls, mastiffs, and rottweilers.
- If the dog owner doesn't own a home and therefore doesn't carry homeowner's insurance, is there another insurance source available?
- What are the leash and off-leash laws in your municipality and how do they affect owner liability?
The personal injury attorneys of the Boise law firm of Carty Houst are highly experienced in handling personal injury lawsuits, including dog bite lawsuits. We can:
- Interview witnesses and gather statements
- Investigate whether the dog has attacked before
- Review all applicable insurance policies
- Work with treating physicians and medical experts to quantify and document injuries, including disfigurement and facial scarring
- Negotiate with insurance companies
- Provide aggressive and experienced representation in front of a judge and jury
While insurers have a right to exclude dog bites and particular dog breeds in policies, Idaho residents have a legal right to pursue compensation following attacks from vicious animals. We can skillfully advocate for your rights to compensation both by arguing for your rights under the law.
