Atlanta Area Dog Bite Lawyer

Pet owners are responsible for the actions of and damaged caused by their pets. Pet ownership comes with a legal obligation to properly train and secure the animal, and far too many people fail to respect the damage that even a small animal can do to an adult and especially to a child.

At the law office of Glenn L. Goodhart, M.D., J.D. we frequently see people who have suffered serious and sometime permanent injuries due to the negligence of a pet owner. Tragically, children are among the most common victims of serious dog bites, though even the strongest and healthiest adult can be attacked by a vicious dog.

When you or a child has suffered a serious dog bite injury as a result of the negligence of a pet owner, you may be entitled to substantial compensation. We can help.

Recovering Compensation for Dog Bite Injuries

The kinds of injuries sustained by dog bites can be serious, disfiguring and permanent. They may require reconstructive surgeries and years of long term care, all at a huge cost. It can be crucial to make sure you recover the full and appropriate compensation you and your family need to cope with this traumatic and unexpected attack.

Our lawyer has built a career as a successful personal injury litigator. And prior to becoming an attorney, Glenn L. Goodhart helped people in his practice as a medical doctor. This depth of experience allows us to fully understand every aspect of your injury, and to turn that knowledge into persuasive arguments on your behalf.

There are numerous dog breeds widely recognized to be dangerous either because of temperament or size, such as:

• Pit Bull / Staffordshire Terriers
• German Shepherd
• Doberman Pincher
• Rottweiler
• Chow

Owners of these breeds need to be particularly diligent in the training and restraint of their animals. When they fail to be responsible owners, too often someone else suffers.
