Injured by a Dog?

You May Have a Case.

Dog attacks can happen in an instant — but the physical and emotional scars can last a lifetime. If you’ve been bitten or seriously injured by a dog, we’ll help you understand your legal rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.

We Help Dog Bite Victims Get Justice

New York law makes dog owners responsible when their animals cause harm — especially when they knew or should have known the dog was dangerous. But even with clear injuries, these cases can get complicated. That’s why you need a legal team that knows how to prove liability, document damages, and deal with aggressive insurance tactics.


At Dallas Law, we represent children, adults, and delivery workers who’ve been attacked by dogs in neighborhoods, apartment buildings, parks, and private homes. From puncture wounds and infections to permanent disfigurement and trauma, we understand how serious these injuries can be — and how to fight for the compensation you need to heal.

These cases are about more than just medical bills — they’re about pain, fear, and long-term recovery. We help you pursue every available option for accountability and compensation.

Unrestrained or Vicious Dogs

If a dog was known to be aggressive — or was left loose in violation of leash laws — the owner may be liable under state and local laws.

Psychological & Emotional Trauma

Beyond physical injuries, dog bites often cause anxiety, PTSD, or a lifelong fear of animals. We pursue compensation that reflects the full scope of harm.

Common Questions About Dog Bite Claims

Dog bite laws can be tricky — here’s what you should know.

  • Can I sue if someone’s dog bit me in Long Island?

    Yes. If the dog owner was negligent or knew the dog had aggressive tendencies, you may have a strong case for compensation.

  • What if the dog never bit anyone before?

    New York applies a “known dangerousness” standard — but a dog doesn’t have to bite before. Evidence of aggression (growling, lunging) may be enough.

  • Is the owner always responsible?

    Usually, yes — but there may also be liability for landlords or caretakers who failed to take precautions after knowing the dog was dangerous.

  • What damages can I recover after a dog bite in NYC?

    You may be entitled to medical costs, surgery, therapy, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term psychological care.

  • Do I need a lawyer for a dog bite case in Westchester?

    Absolutely. Insurance companies often try to minimize these claims — especially if you didn’t go to the ER right away. Legal support can make all the difference.
