At TonaLaw, Turning Your Setback From a Dog Attack Isn't Just a Promise – It's Our Pledge

A dog attack is more than just a bite – it’s a traumatic event that can leave lasting physical and emotional scars. One moment, you were going about your day, and the next, you were dealing with serious injuries, mounting medical bills, and psychological trauma.

You’re facing critical decisions while:

  • Medical bills keep piling up
  • Insurance companies pressure you to accept a quick settlement
  • You’re missing work and losing income
  • You’re struggling with anxiety and fear of dogs
  • The dog owner’s insurance company is trying to minimize your injuries

Dog owners and insurance companies shouldn’t profit by denying injured victims fair compensation. Every day without action puts your future at risk, and you deserve support during this challenging time.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • The moments after a dog bite are crucial for your health and legal rights. Take these essential steps:
  • Seek immediate medical attention, even for seemingly minor bites
  • Document the incident with photos of your injuries and the scene
  • Get the dog owner’s contact and insurance information
  • Report the bite to local animal control
  • Don’t sign anything from insurance companies
  • Call TonaLaw at 833-TONALAW for immediate legal guidance
  • Every dog bite case is unique, but compensation typically covers:
  • All medical expenses (current and future)
  • Lost wages and income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional trauma and PTSD
  • Permanent scarring or disfigurement: Recent New York dog bite settlements have ranged from $50,000 to over $1 million, depending on the severity of the injury and the circumstances.
  • Multiple parties may be responsible for covering your medical bills:
  • The dog owner’s homeowner’s insurance
  • The dog owner’s renter’s insurance
  • The property owner’s insurance (if the attack happened on their property)
  • The dog owner, TonaLaw, will personally identify all possible sources of compensation to ensure your medical bills are fully covered.
  • New York follows a “mixed” dog bite law that combines elements of:
  • “One Bite Rule” – If the owner knew the dog was dangerous
  • Strict Liability – Owner is liable for medical costs regardless of prior knowledge Even if the owner denies responsibility, we can often prove liability through:
  • Previous incident reports
  • Neighbor testimonies
  • Animal control records
  • Security camera footage Our experienced team knows how to build strong cases even when owners deny responsibility.

You have 3 years from the date of the dog bite to file a personal injury lawsuit in New York. However, crucial evidence can disappear quickly, and insurance companies often try to settle quickly for less than you deserve. Contact us immediately to protect your rights and maximize your compensation.
