Animal Attacks, Dog Bite Injury Lawyers

Surprising to some, animal attacks and dog bites occur far too often in South Carolina. Victims can suffer from an array of injuries from cuts and lacerations, broken bones, traumatic brain injury, spinal cord damage and even death. For those that survive an attack, plastic and/or reconstructive surgery is often required to correct disfigurement. Even so, emotional trauma suffered as a result of an animal attack becomes a heavy burden as individuals attempt to move on with their lives. Many experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), necessitating ongoing mental health counseling and therapy.

If a dog has attacked you or a loved one, it’s important to contact the dog bite injury attorneys at CHS Injury Lawyers in North Charleston. You may be entitled to compensation for medical care, as well as lost wages. You may also have the opportunity to pursue a personal injury claim or wrongful death claim, depending on the circumstances of your injury.

To alleviate the stress of fighting for your own compensation and struggling to understand the claim process, contact the team at CHS Injury Lawyers. While you recover from your injuries, we’ll work to make things right again.
