Because Loving Dogs Doesn’t Mean Excusing Irresponsible Owners
As a dog owner herself, Dana knows how much our pets are part of the family. But with that love comes responsibility. At Palmetto State Injury Lawyers, we stand with victims of dog attacks and fight to hold negligent owners accountable for the serious harm their carelessness causes.
Dog bites are often more than just “minor incidents.” They can leave lasting physical injuries, deep emotional scars, and financial burdens that impact every part of a victim’s life.
The Lasting Impact of Dog Bite Injuries
Dog attacks can cause severe and sometimes life-altering injuries, including:
- Permanent scarring and disfigurement
- Nerve damage and muscle loss
- Broken bones or traumatic head injuries
- Severe infections requiring surgical intervention
- Long-term medical treatment and rehabilitation
But the impact isn’t just physical. Many victims—especially children—experience intense emotional trauma, including anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress. The psychological toll can interfere with daily life, relationships, and even the ability to be around animals again.
At Palmetto State Injury Lawyers, we take these injuries seriously. We build cases that reflect the full scope of your physical, emotional, and financial losses—not just what’s on the surface.
Proving Liability in South Carolina Dog Bite Cases
South Carolina law allows victims to hold dog owners responsible when their pet attacks, even if the dog has no prior history of aggression. However, these cases can still be complex. Insurance companies often try to shift blame to the victim or minimize the injuries.
Our firm knows how to navigate these challenges. We’ll investigate the facts, gather evidence, consult with medical experts, and fight to ensure the negligent owner is held accountable.
What You Can Recover After a Dog Bite Injury
If you’ve been attacked by a dog, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Emergency medical care and future treatment costs
- Lost wages and diminished earning capacity
- Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
- Psychological counseling and therapy expenses
We’ll fight for compensation that truly reflects the serious and lasting harm a dog attack can cause.
