Alekman DiTusa operates from 1550 Main St Suite 501, Springfield, MA, providing specialized legal representation for dog bite victims throughout Massachusetts. Available at 413-781-0000 for free consultations, their experienced attorneys handle cases under Massachusetts’ strict liability statute which holds dog owners responsible regardless of the animal’s prior behavior. The firm helps victims document serious injuries including lacerations, facial scarring, disfigurement, tissue damage, nerve damage, and traumatic head injuries resulting from being knocked down during attacks. Their comprehensive approach includes identifying insurance coverage, as most homeowners and renters policies cover dog bite liability both on and off premises. The legal team pursues damages for medical expenses, future treatments, lost income, pain and suffering, and psychological trauma, recognizing that even bites that appear minor initially can develop serious infections. Working exclusively on contingency, the firm ensures clients pay nothing unless compensation is secured through insurance claims or litigation when necessary.
Dog Bite Attorneys in Springfield
Edward Lee Law, operating from 150 Morris Ave. Suite 202, Springfield, NJ 07081, provides experienced representation for dog bite victims in New Jersey. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, over 330,000 Americans visit emergency departments for dog bite injuries annually. Unlike many states, New Jersey imposes strict liability on dog owners: if their animal bites someone in a public place or a lawfully present guest on private property, the owner is responsible for all damages, even if the dog had never shown aggression before. The firm helps victims secure compensation for medical costs, wage loss, disfigurement, and emotional trauma. Dog bites cause serious injuries including puncture wounds, crush fractures, nerve damage, facial scarring, infections, and psychological trauma including PTSD. New Jersey’s strict liability statute focuses on the circumstances surrounding the bite rather than the dog’s breed, with recognized defenses including trespass, provocation, and comparative fault. The firm emphasizes taking immediate steps after a bite: seeking medical attention, identifying the dog and owner, reporting the incident, documenting injuries, and preserving evidence. For a free consultation, call (973) 315-9080.
