Dog bites can cause significant physical and emotional trauma, often requiring extensive medical treatment and rehabilitation.

We aim to ensure that victims receive the support they need to recover fully and that responsible parties are held accountable for their negligence.

Understanding Dog Bite Claims

Dog bite claims arise when a person is injured in a dog attack, and the dog's owner can be held legally responsible for the damages caused. Depending on the jurisdiction and specific circumstances of the case, these claims can be based on strict liability, negligence, or intentional misconduct. We have extensive experience handling dog bite cases at Imhof Law, LLC, ensuring our clients receive the comprehensive legal support they need to pursue justice and compensation.

Common Causes of Dog Bites

Dog bites can occur for various reasons, often involving the owner's failure to control or properly train their pet. Some common causes include:


  • Lack of Supervision: Leaving a dog unsupervised in situations where it can come into contact with people.

  • Failure to Restrain: Allowing a dog to roam freely without a leash in public areas.

  • Provocation: Situations where a dog may feel threatened or provoked, leading to an aggressive response.

  • Lack of Training: Failure to properly train and socialize a dog, resulting in unpredictable and aggressive behavior.

  • History of Aggression: Owners who are aware of their dog's aggressive tendencies but fail to take appropriate precautions.
