Why You Need a Dog Bite Lawyer

A dog bite lawyer helps victims navigate Ontario’s strict liability and personal injury laws. Even if the dog has no history of aggression, owners are often responsible for injuries caused by their pet. Our lawyers investigate the incident, gather medical and witness evidence, and handle insurance negotiations. This lets you focus on recovery while we work to secure your compensation.

Common Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bites can cause serious harm. Common injuries include:

  • Deep lacerations requiring stitches or surgery
  • Nerve or tendon damage
  • Permanent scarring
  • Infection and rabies concerns
  • Emotional trauma and anxiety

Because injuries vary, compensation depends on medical treatment, recovery time, and long-term effects. A dog bite lawyer ensures all damages are considered.

Liability in Dog Bite Cases

Ontario law holds dog owners responsible for bites in most situations. Factors that a dog bite lawyer examines include:

  • Whether the dog had a history of aggression
  • Circumstances of the attack
  • Location of the incident (private property, park, public space)
  • Compliance with local leash or licensing laws

Even if you were partially at fault, contributory negligence rules may apply, allowing recovery with a proportional reduction.

Compensation You May Be Entitled To

With the help of a dog bite lawyer, victims may claim compensation for:

  • Medical and rehabilitation expenses
  • Lost income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress
  • Scarring or permanent injury

Our team at Salehi Law works to maximize compensation by thoroughly documenting your injuries and the circumstances of the attack.
