Dog Bites
At The Law Offices of John Day, P.C. We Fight for the Rights of Dog Bite Victims.
In Tennessee, we love our dogs, but when a dog bites or attacks it is no longer man’s best friend but instead a feared foe. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 800,000 people will seek medical treatment for dog bites each year, and young children are the most endangered age group as they represent roughly half of the victims. Of those 800,000 people, 386,000 of them will need emergency medical treatment and 16 of them will die from injuries inflicted by a dog bite or attack.
If you or your child has been bitten or attacked by a dog, one of our experienced dog bite attorneys will help you get justice. Tennessee’s dog bite law is complex with numerous exceptions to liability. We have been representing dog bite victims for more than 80 years, and we are skilled at developing the necessary proof to win these cases. Our results speak for themselves — we have recovered more than $100 million dollars for our clients. We would like to help you too.
We Are Your Voice When You’ve Been Bitten or Attacked by a Dog in Tennessee.
If you or someone you love has been bitten or attacked by a dog, you need our experienced dog bite attorneys to immediately:
