Newark Dog Bite Attorneys

Despite the fact that dogs have long-been domesticated pets, they still possess animal instincts that can make their behavior difficult to predict. As such, if a dog feels frightened or threatened, it may turn violent and bite or attack other animals or even people. This is why it is so important for dog owners to make sure their dogs are safely restrained at all times. Sadly, far too many pet owners are negligent in this responsibility, as over 4 million dog bites are reported every year in the United States according to the CDC.

If you have been attacked by a dog and are now facing serious injuries and expensive medical bills, you may be entitled to financial compensation from the dog’s owner.  Contact the experienced Newark dog bite attorneys of Levinson Axelrod, P.A., today by calling 800-346-5529 to discuss how our attorneys may be able to help you with your case.  We have been offering our clients quality service since 1939, and we are prepared to carefully evaluate your situation.

  • Fractures / broken bones
