Hensley Legal Group, PC operates from 107 N State Rd 135, Suite 105, Greenwood, IN 46142, providing experienced representation for dog bite victims. With dogs residing in nearly half of Indiana’s households and the state having the sixth highest rate of dog ownership nationally, Greenwood is filled with dogs on streets, trails, and parks like Four Paws Dog Park. While dogs provide companionship, they can respond violently to mild provocation, with 4.5 million Americans attacked annually and 20% needing medical attention. Indiana imposes significant constraints on dog bite claims, with the One-Bite Rule often shielding owners from liability for first-time attacks on private citizens, though government employees have broader rights to file claims. The firm’s attorneys can overcome these legal barriers by proving owner negligence through actions like off-leash violations, improper confinement, inadequate signage, or allowing aggressive dogs to interact with the public. With over 25 years of experience, Hensley offers free consultations at 317-472-3333 and works on contingency.
