Animal Attacks
 Vicious
dog attacks are becoming more and
more common, and a personal injury
claim based upon an animal attack
requires experienced and diligent
counsel. Attorney Timothy
Hill has resolved hundreds
of animal attacks on adults and
children in the St. Louis and St.
Louis County area as well as in
Jefferson and St. Charles Counties
of Missouri.
Statutes and Common Law Rules
Animals that attack humans, particularly
domesticated animals, are subject
to a number of different statutes
and common law rules. Some
cities have leash laws, and other
cities have regulations relating
to dangerous animals and animals
at large. The old "an animal
is entitled to one free bite" is
quite often not the rule.
Damages for an animal attack include
pain and suffering, reimbursement
of medical costs, and potential
future medical care costs for cosmetic
surgery. Timothy Hill PC
has handled numerous claims in
the civil court system and has
personal experience with animal
attacks.
If you were attacked by an animal,
do not discuss the claim with the
insurance carrier until you have
legal advice. Timothy Hill
will be happy to discuss the merits
of your case and resolve it to
your satisfaction.
