Dog bite attorney - Another way to document the bite is with photos. Be sure to take good pictures of the wound right away and as the wound heals and finally if there is scarring left. A trip to the doctor is also advised in order to get good evidence of the bite. Liability is often more of an issue in dog bite cases than in car accident cases. Be sure to get the name and address of the owner of the dog as well as the breed. Also get the name, address and phone number of any witnesses of the event, as well as the information on anyone saying they have seen the dog biting someone else. Dog bite liability laws differ from state to state. Many states have a strict liability law that holds the owner liable without fault. This means that if a dog owner keeps the animal after discovering that the dog has the tendency to attack people, the owner is held liable for any subsequent attack. In these cases, provided that the dog was not provoked, all that must be proven is that the dog attacked. Pictures, as well as medical records should be provided to an attorney.
