Dog Bite Attorney in South Carolina

Dog bites and animal attacks can result in serious injuries, both physical and emotional. If you or a loved one has been bitten or attacked by a dog due to the negligence or recklessness of the dog's owner, you may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and more.

Understanding Dog Bite Laws

In South Carolina, dog owners are held liable for injuries caused by their pets under the state's strict liability law. This means that the owner can be held responsible for a dog bite or attack, regardless of whether the dog had a history of aggressive behavior or whether the owner was aware of such behavior.

Common Injuries from Dog Bites

Dog bites can result in a range of injuries, including:

Puncture wounds
Lacerations and cuts
Bruises and contusions
Fractures and broken bones
Infections (e.g., rabies, bacterial infections)

Additionally, the emotional trauma and psychological effects of a dog bite can be long-lasting, leading to anxiety, fear of dogs, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in some cases.
