Las Vegas and Phoenix are home to a sizable population of pet dogs as well as a significant number of exotic animals including monkeys and lions.
Regardless of whether an animal is domesticated, certain circumstances may result in it attacking a person and causing severe injuries or even wrongful death. If you were hurt or a family member died due to a dog bite or animal attack, the Powerhouse Injury Attorneys are ready to help you pursue just financial compensation.
Steps to Follow after an Animal Attack
Dog bites and attacks by exotic pets are often the result of the owner negligence. If you or a loved one suffers harm in a dog or exotic pet attack, taking the following steps can help support your personal injury lawsuit:
- Seek immediate medical attention; if necessary, we can refer you to a physician
- Alert local authorities to report the attack
- Gather contact information for any witnesses
- Identify the animal and owner if possible
- Take photos or video of your injuries and, if possible, the animal and location where the attack occurred
- Do not provide statements to the animal’s owner or caretaker
- Do not provide statements to the insurance company of the animal’s owner or caretaker
- Do not sign any documentation from insurance providers
