Dog Attack Legal Help

Girones Law handles the legal and financial aspects of dog attacks, helping you focus on recovery while securing the compensation you deserve.

Understanding Your Rights

In Ontario, almost anyone can sue for damages caused by a dog attack. According to the “Dog Owners Liability Act,” dog owners are strictly liable for any harm their dogs cause. This means that if you or a loved one has been injured by a dog, you have the right to seek compensation.

Dog owners are presumed liable for injuries caused by their dogs, even without a bite.

Injuries can occur from being knocked over or jumped on by a dog.

Courts can issue orders for public safety, including removing the dog from the owner’s care or requiring the dog to be muzzled and leashed.

Factors Affecting Compensation

The compensation you are entitled to can vary based on several factors. Our experienced dog bite injury lawyers will work to ensure you receive the full amount you deserve.

  • Severity of your injury
  • Amount of work missed due to the injury
  • Need for surgery or ongoing therapy
  • Circumstances of the attack and owner’s behaviour
  • Any contributory behaviour on your part

Legal and Financial Repercussions

Dog attacks can lead to significant legal and financial repercussions. Our team will thoroughly investigate your case to determine the best course of action and ensure your rights are protected.

Home insurance policies may cover attack-related damages.

Ontario courts can make specific orders for public safety.

Legal expertise is crucial in severe dog attack cases.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Tom Lam

My wife and I were involved in an automobile accident with a tractor trailer. Andrea Girones took every step to move my file forward as efficiently as possible from the first moment we met with her. She was able to address every one of our concerns during the litigation process. We always felt prepared to face the next challenges related to our case. I have no doubt that we would not have resolved our action as successfully without her experience and advice on how to navigate the entire legal process. More importantly, Andrea helped our family get the help we needed to get back to where we were before our accident

Shelley

I have been completely satisfied with the legal services provided to me by Andrea Girones and her staff.

I would highly recommend her services to anyone needing legal representation. She and her staff promptly answered any questions that I had and kept me well informed regarding the status of my case.

I would without reservation use her services again should I ever need them.

Marilyn Thompson

When I first consulted you about my case, you took it on and also advised me that I had two other claims that I did not even know existed! As a result of you pursuing these two new matters that I was not even aware of, I received approximately seven times more than my original matter is worth. I want to thank you for getting me money that I did not know I was entitled to.
