Protect Your Health and Rights to Compensation

If you or your child are bitten by a dog, you should:

  • Get immediate medical attention.
    Even if the injury appears minor, dog bites can get infected and cause serious complications. The doctor’s medical report of the injury can also be used as evidence to build your claim against a negligent dog owner.
  • Find out who owns the dog.
    If the dog attack occurred in a public area or in a yard, try to alert the owner and get his or her contact information — including name, address, and telephone number.
  • Talk to witnesses.
    If other people witnessed the bite — get their contact information. Their statements may help prove that you or your child didn’t provoke the dog to bite.
  • Document the dog bite injury.
    Write down what happened to the best of your ability. You can also take pictures of the injury to help prove the extent of the damage caused by the dog bite.
  • Contact a Nashville dog bite lawyer.
    An experienced law firm like Ponce Law can investigate your dog bite injury and collect evidence to build a strong claim.

    I was driving down I-40 when I got hit by another car. I called Michael Ponce because I wanted an attorney right here in Nashville. As soon as I called, I knew I made the right decision, and Ponce Law got me the money I needed to get back on my feet. I highly recommend Ponce Law!

    After my car accident, I wasn’t sure if I needed an attorney. I called Ponce Law for a free consultation. I’m so glad I made the call. I wanted a local attorney, and from the first call, to when my case was settled, I felt heard, valued, and taken care of.

    I was on I-40 coming into Nashville and a car ran into the back of me. The accident was serious, and I needed surgery. I did ask an attorney friend of mine whom I should call, and he said call Ponce Law. The folks at Ponce Law were outstanding and got us a large settlement.
