More Than Just Dog Bites

Over the last decade, the variety of animals people keep as pets has broadened. It’s no longer only a family dog or cat. Homeowners are now keeping exotic pets, such as snakes, alligators, and iguanas, as well as hamsters, birds, ferrets, and mice. This increase in variety is accompanied by an increase in the risk of rabies, a disease for which extensive preventative treatment is required in the form of numerous painful injections. Many animal bites also occur to the face or head of victims, oftentimes leaving serious physical and emotional scars that last a lifetime.

Dog bites are still by far the most common type of animal attack. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, about 4.7 million people are victims of dog bites each year, and most of them are children.

Georgia Pet Laws Provide Compensation

Regardless of the type or breed involved, if you have been attacked by an animal or bitten by a dog, you may be able to recover compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and scarring.

Our experienced Valdosta dog bite lawyers will conduct a thorough investigation into the animal’s background to determine whether it has a history of aggressive behavior. If a dog bites, it is likely that the dog has bitten before. Also, our skilled animal attack attorneys are familiar with local city and county leash laws, fencing codes, and other ordinances that may have been violated by a careless pet owner.

In many cases, the pet owner’s home insurance policy provides coverage for injuries from a dog bite. However, insurance companies will often deny a claim when they should be paying it. This is why it’s very important to have a good lawyer in your corner.

Dog bite and animal attack victims in Lowndes, Tift, Cook, Bibb, and Houston Counties, and the surrounding areas turn to the Studstill Firm, LLP because we have nearly four decades of personal injury experience to draw from when helping animal attack victims.

    “The most professional, caring, group of people we or anyone in need could have by your side.”
    After being injured on the job…I became worried of loosing my job and being the sole income in our home, my wife and I were going through a mini hell on earth for what we were going to do. My wife, THANK GOD, found the Studstill Firm and from the first meeting, we were treated with dignity and grace. They were quick to take charge and responded to our every need. We found their staff and associates to be the most professional, caring, group of people we or anyone in need could have by your side. My wife and I HIGHLY recommend the Studstill Firm and they will always be on our speed dial. Thank you Mrs. Studstill for being there for us.

    “I was well taken care of.”

    “I can’t emphasize how satisfied I am, my experience with you is by far the best!”
    I can’t emphasize how satisfied I am with how you handled my case throughout; and it has nothing to do with the fact that you earned me a favorable settlement. Honestly the amount of the settlement mean little compared to the quality of service I received. I’ve dealt with lawyers in the past and my experience with you is by far the best! What makes it the best is: You communicated EVERYTHING clearly from beginning to end (no surprises) Your response time was ALWAYS fast Your staff is professional and thorough You applied yourself diligently to make SURE I was protected by law and that I received EVERYTHING I was entitled to by law You NEVER made me feel pressured to make a decision or do anything I didn’t feel comfortable with Overall and throughout the process, I felt as if you cared more about ME as a client than about making money. I just felt as if I had a “good person” working on my behalf.

    Mrs. Studstill and Kira worked very diligently to get me the care I should have received from both my insurance carrier and the insurance carrier of the man responsible for the car accident and were very quick handling all calls and questions.
    - Jessica
    “Go the extra step to “personally” care for their customers, I have been impressed.”
    I have used the Studstill Firm on two separate occasions. They returned emails and phone calls immediately and go the extra step to “personally” care for their customers. I have been impressed with their service both times I used them and highly recommend them.
