Bitten by a Dog? Don’t Let the Trauma Bite Into Your Future — Let Murphy Schmitt Hathaway Help
A dog bite can flip your life upside down in a heartbeat — one second you’re walking through your neighborhood, and the next, you’re dealing with blood, shock, and hospital bills.
If you’ve been hurt by someone else’s dog, you need more than a bandage and a pat on the back.
You need a legal team with
real firepower — one that knows how to get results when things get complicated.
At Murphy Schmitt Hathaway, we’ve been in the legal trenches for over 40 years, handling both plaintiff and defense sides of dog bite cases. That means we don’t just understand these cases — we anticipate every move the other side will make.
Dog Bite Cases Are Messy. Here’s Why.
These cases are almost never as simple as "a dog bit someone."
You’ve got a tangle of questions to untangle first:
- Did the dog have a history of aggression?
- Was the owner negligent or careless?
- Did the injured person provoke the dog?
- What do local leash laws and liability statutes say?
Every case hinges on a unique combination of state law, evidence, eyewitness accounts, and expert opinion. Miss one detail, and it could cost you everything.
But this is where we shine. We’re built for complex, high-stakes personal injury cases — the ones where experience matters most.
We Know the Other Side’s Playbook
Having worked for both injured clients and those accused of liability, we know every angle. That gives us a serious advantage — we walk into negotiations or the courtroom already knowing what arguments the defense will try and how to shut them down.
What You Could Be Owed
Dog bites aren’t just painful — they can leave lasting scars, both physical and emotional. If someone else’s negligence led to your injury, you may be entitled to significant compensation, including:
- Emergency room visits and surgical costs
- Ongoing medical treatments and rehab
- Lost wages or future earning potential
- Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement
Our job is to make sure nothing gets left on the table.
No Games. Just Results.
We don’t do cookie-cutter cases. We don’t take shortcuts. And we don’t get paid unless we win.
