While animal bites and dog attacks may not immediately spring to people's minds when it comes to personal injury cases, these types of injuries can be quite serious and often require extensive care and time for recovery. In Rhode Island, to make matters even more complicated, there are unique state laws that figure into the equation.

One example of our successful results:
Our client was in her own yard, holding her dog. A dog from the neighborhood became loose and entered our client's property. The two dogs lunged at each other, but no contact was made. Neither dog touched, nor did they touch our client. However, the turmoil knocked our client to the ground, causing serious injury. The insurance carrier representing the neighboring dog's owner fought our client's claim. It insisted that there was no contact, and that the neighboring dog did not cause the injury. We filed suit and obtained a policy limits settlement of $300,000 for our client. Our client was not even required to make an appearance in court.
