Although it’s difficult to know the exact value of your dog bite case without an initial consultation, your case value is generally built from the damages you can prove. This may include the value of your medical bills, mental health therapy, missed wages, and pain and suffering.
For example, a Zirkin & Schmerling client’s ear was bitten off by his sister’s dog and we obtained compensation of $500,000 for his injuries, which was the maximum of the applicable insurance policy limit. We have also secured other awards of $350,000, $200,000, and other amounts that compensate our clients for their massive losses.
