TRANSCRIPT:

In a dog bite, your damages include medical bills, time off work if any, pain and suffering, and loss of consortium. One thing that sets a dog bite apart from many other types of injury cases is you’ll typically see that the medical bills are smaller because you only have to make a few visits to a doctor to say, get stitches, get the stitches taken out, et cetera. I have noticed that the pain and suffering awards are larger compared to the medical bills than what you would find for, say, a motor vehicle collision, probably in part because everyone knows that the pain from that bite is going to stay with you the entire time you’re recovering, even if you don’t have to go back to the doctor.

what our clients say

I was in an accident with a semi, Lawrence & Associates represented me and I loved how I was treated very professional.

-April Hearn

I contacted Justin Lawrence to handle a legal issue that he previously tried in the Kentucky Supreme Court. Based on his experience and knowledge, the entire situation was resolved with a liability carrier in less than 6 weeks. His office was easy to work with and responded to all inquiries the same day.

-Carol Greissman

I had been trying for four years to get disability after hurting my back to the point I could barely walk. In those four years I developed other ailments like fibromyalgia and arthritis. Lawrence and Associates helped me to finally get approved and I couldn’t be more thankful!!
