Am I Required To Report My Dog Bite In The State Of New York?

Long Island Dog Bite LawyersYes, you are required to report any dog bites that occur in the state of New York. This includes bites that occur on public or private property, as well as those that occur while the dog is off its leash. Dog owners who fail to report a bite may be subject to civil and criminal penalties. If you have been bitten by a dog, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. You should also contact your local animal control agency to make a report. In some cases, the agency may require that the dog be quarantined for a period of time. Our Long Island Dog Bite Lawyers at Winkler Kurtz, LLP are experts in this area of personal injury.

What Should Be Included In The Dog Bite Report?

When you make a report to animal control, be sure to include the following information so that no detail is missed in the report:

-The name, address and phone number of the dog’s owner

-The name and contact information of the person who was bitten

-A description of the dog, including its breed, color and approximate size

-The location of the incident

-The time and date of the incident

-Any witnesses to the incident

-The extent of the victim’s injuries

If you have any questions about reporting a dog bite, or if you need help filing a personal injury claim, contact our Long Island Dog Bite Lawyers at Winkler Kurtz, LLP today. We offer free consultations, and we will not hesitate to fight for the compensation you deserve. Our law firm specializes in the realm of personal injury. And we have specialists who work specifically in handling dog bite cases.

After I Report My Dog Bite, What Should I Do Next?

After you have reported your dog bite, you should seek medical attention as soon as possible. Even if your injuries seem minor, it is important to have them evaluated by a doctor. Some dog bites can lead to serious infections, and some victims may require surgery. In addition to seeking medical treatment, you should also contact our Long Island Dog Bite Lawyers at Winkler Kurtz, LLP. We can help you understand your legal rights and options, and we will fight to get you the compensation you deserve. We believe that you are entitled to your compensation, and we will do everything in our power to help you achieve that goal.

How Do I Know If I Qualify For Compensation From A Dog Bite?

In order to qualify for compensation, you must be able to prove that the dog’s owner was negligent. This means that they knew or should have known that their dog was dangerous, and they failed to take appropriate measures to keep others safe. For example, if the owner knew that their dog had a history of biting people, but they did not keep it on a leash or provide adequate warning to others, they may be held liable for any resulting injuries. If you have been injured by a dog, contact our Long Island Dog Bite Lawyers at Winkler Kurtz, LLP to discuss your case. We will review the facts of your case and help you determine if you are eligible for compensation.

To Whom It May Concern, I’m a union painter and was badly hurt when I was involved in a workplace accident on a job site in Manhattan. I hired Richard Winkler to represent me and they have been great. He and his staff keep me informed and are making sure that I can continue to be able to feed my family and to keep everything going, they are on my side no doubt about it. Needless to say this didn’t go unnoticed to my family. Visiting the office was always a positive experience both welcoming and professional. I would recommend this firm to anyone in need of caring compassionate legal representation.

- Elissa Rand

The experience that I got from Richard Winkler was absolutely the best, In the beginning I was hesitant because you hear of bad stories about attorneys, but the turning point for me was when the most amazing, caring, person sat down and explained everything to me Mr. Winkler’s paralegal Dana Randazzo. This team answered all my phone calls handled all my paperwork in a quick manner there were never any surprises and they were on top of everything with the insurance companies and anything else associated to my case I highly recommend this law firm to anyone you will not be disappointed and I just wanted to say thank you for all that you have done for me Mr Winkler!
