Dog Bite Case Timeline

Answer:

We were speaking with you young lady the other day who was bitten by a dog, and she had a pretty bad bite on her lip and had to go to the ER, had to get stitched up, and then she started having nightmares and anxiety. She called and was really worried. She wanted to know, “How long is this going to take to resolve?” She just wanted to put it all behind her and get some closure. She didn’t want to deal with it anymore. That’s something we hear a lot when we talk to people. They just want this to be behind them; they just want closure. They just want to wrap it up as quick as possible and be done with it.

What we tell everybody is that everybody’s case is different. Everybody’s case is unique unto them. It really depends on your particular damages, including your medical bills and how much medical treatment it takes to get you back to whole or reach maximum medical improvement. How much time have you lost from work? What do your lost wages look like? We also need to give some time to allow any kind of scarring to settle, so we understand if we need to have any kind of scar revision treatment.

There are a couple different things we look at that can impact how long a case takes to resolve. When you hire a personal injury trial attorney, our focus is on helping you get back to whole by taking care of the details. We collect the evidence, talk to witnesses and make sure that from day one we’re putting the pieces together so that we can put your case in the best position possible to have a quicker resolution in your favor.

In the event the insurance company doesn’t want to do the right thing, we are personal injury trial attorneys, so we’re not afraid to go to trial. We will go into the courtroom, in front of the judge and jury, and force the insurance company to compensate you for what’s fair and reasonable for your injuries.

As always here at the firm, legal consultations are free. Feel free to give us a call. We’d be happy to talk to you and help you out if we can.
