Understanding Your Unique Circumstances

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that, each year, 4.7 million Americans are bitten by dogs and almost half of them are children. Each year, 800,000 people seek medical attention and an average of 16 people die because of dog attacks. We can help!

We work with individuals and parents who are concerned about:

  • Long-term scarring and disfigurement
  • Infection
  • Medical bills
  • Trauma and long-term emotional stress, no matter how big the dog or how small the child
  • Preventing the dog from attacking another person/child

While most dogs are friendly and won’t ever bite or attack, some are overly aggressive or improperly trained, and it only takes an instant for serious injuries to be inflicted from a dog bite. At Bowden Cyr, PLLC, we can move quickly to protect the your rights or the rights of your child following a dog bite or animal-related injury. We know how to thoroughly investigate and provide appropriate documentation to the dog owner and insurance carrier to allow for appropriate resolution.
