Understanding Minnesota's Dog Bite Laws
Our personal injury attorney, James N. Schloner, has been protecting the rights of injured people since 1984. During the course of his legal career, attorney Schloner has helped many dog bite victims recover damages for medical bills, lost wages, disfigurement, scarring and other losses. His understanding of Minnesota dog bite laws and the responsibility of dog owners is integral to the success of his practice.
Minnesota's dog bite laws state that a pet owner is legally responsible for their dog's behavior. This means that if you are bitten or knocked down and injured by a dog because of an owner's negligence, the owner can be held responsible for your injuries. Compensation for medical bills, scarring, disfigurement, psychological trauma and other losses are pursued through the dog owner's homeowner's insurance.
Protecting the Rights of Children Injured by Dogs
The attack of a dog can be physically and emotionally traumatizing. This is especially true when a child is the victim. Since children continue to grow, a lot of cosmetic surgeries must be delayed until the child is fully-grown. This means the child may have to endure the remainder of their childhood with a disfigurement or scar. Your child should be fully compensated for their pain and suffering and the law firm of James N. Schloner can help you make sure that you're doing everything you can to help your child heal from this devastating event.
