Dog Bites
Have you or a loved one close to you been the victim of a dog bite? The Colorado dog bite statute, found in Colorado Statutes section 13-21-124, imposes strict liability on dog owners for any injury caused by that dog. Strict liability means that the plaintiff does not need to prove that the owner knew that his or her dog had vicious propensities. The statute applies only to a “serious bodily injury,” which is defined as a “bodily injury which involves a substantial risk of death, a substantial risk of serious permanent disfigurement, a substantial risk of protracted loss or impairment of the function of any part or organ of the body, or breaks, fractures, or burns of the second or third degree.”
If you have been the victim of a dog bite that has resulted in medical bills, lost wages, and other losses, you need an experienced dog bite attorney in Denver to represent you. At Whalen Hersh, we have represented hundreds of clients over the years, including victims of dog bites, and recovered millions of dollars for our clients. We aren’t just concerned with winning cases at Whalen Hersh, we’re concerned about making sure you and your family are taken care of and receive the compensation you’re entitled to along with the support you deserve.
At Whalen Hersh, we understand the intricacies of Colorado law and our attorneys have the experience to effectively represent you in a dog bite injury claim as your dog bite lawyer in Denver. Most dog bite disputes are settled between the injured person and the dog owner or insurance company, so it’s entirely possible that your dog bite claim may never go to court. However, insurance companies sometimes offer victims of dog bite attacks as little compensation as possible for their injuries, especially when they are not represented by an experienced dog bite lawyer. We don’t want to see that happen to you.
