Oregon Dog Bite Attorney Firm

“First bite free” – or so the saying goes. But that’s always true. Dog-bite victims can seek payment for damages from the very first incident if the dog displayed a “vicious propensity”. In such a case, the first bite is “not” free, and you can recover your losses.

Reed Law specializes in recovering losses for dog bite injury cases.

It often involves the nuances of the case. For instance, city ordinances can come into play. We fought to help an elderly dog-bite victim whose thigh was ripped open by a 100-pound pit bull. The dog-owner fled the scene at midnight in his camper along with his five other dogs. However, we were able to prove that his landlord knew about the vicious dogs yet took no action. Despite the dog owner lacking insurance or assets and fleeing the scene, the fact that the landlord knew of the hazard compelled their insurance company to cover the client’s extensive surgeries, scarring, extreme pain, and horrific near-death experience.

One of our clients was bitten in the face and had his upper lip completely bitten off. We worked with the plastic surgeon to assess his case. The surgeon used tissue from the inside of the victim’s mouth to fabricate an amazing replacement of his lip.

In another case, a client was attacked by a pack of dogs while riding his bicycle. We even attended a “dog trial” (yes, these really do exist) and discovered the dogs were vicious repeat-offenders, and that their owners still allowed them to roam free. Having attorneys on his case early after the incident happened made a big difference in ensuring he received a large settlement to compensate him for the severe damage sustained to his Achilles’ tendon.

We can settle most dog bite injury cases for fair and just payment without going to trial. But either way, with or without a trial, you have just the one chance to get justice, and insurance companies know it. They will pull out all the stops.
