Help for Dog Bite Victims
Dog attacks can be vicious and traumatic. Victims of a dog attack often experience significant emotional pain and suffering that goes far beyond the immediate physical injuries and scars they suffer.
If you have been the victim of a dog bite or other animal attack, contact the personal injury team at the Law Offices of Wilk & Hand. Based in Highland, Indiana, we represent clients throughout northern Indiana.
Put Our Experience to Work for You
If you have been injured by another person's dog, you may think that you have an open and shut case. Unfortunately, it is not that simple in the state of Indiana. Unlike some states that hold dog owners strictly liable for dog attacks, Indiana requires accident victims to establish certain facts to prove the extent of liability.
Our personal injury team is headed by attorney Karl E. Hand, an experienced personal injury lawyer who has been handling legal claims for more than 15 years. At your free consultation, Mr. Hand can review your case and provide a candid assessment of your chances of success.
Compensation for Your Physical and Emotional Pain
A dog bite can cause serious physical and emotional damage. Physical injuries may include deep lacerations, nerve damage and even death. In many cases, dog attack victims require hospitalization and may require reconstructive surgery to minimize scarring. The cost of medical services can add up quickly.
The emotional scars from a dog attack can be significant as well. A dog attack is a terrifying experience that can cause lasting anxiety and other mental health issues. Children who have been attacked may require extensive counseling, especially if they have suffered scars or other physical damage as a result of a dog attack.
As a small law firm, we take a limited number of cases and provide our focused support to each client we represent. We care about the people we serve and seek maximum compensation for every client's injuries.
