PROTECT YOUR HEALTH AND RIGHTS TO COMPENSATION

If you or your child are bitten by a dog in Nashville, 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 dog bite lawyer in Nashville.
