Las Vegas Dog Bite Attorney
At Jones Wilson Injury Lawyers, we have experience in handling dog bite cases that have resulted in serious injuries to our clients. Dog bite cases involve pain and suffering, and in some cases, can result in significant lost income. These cases are incredibly traumatic, especially for younger children, and can have long-lasting effects on the lives of the victims.
What You Need To Know If You’ve Been Bitten By A Dog In The Las Vegas Area
Many people do not know what do after a dog bite. It is important that you contact a reputable and experienced attorney right away so as not to prejudice your legal rights. There are legal and equitable remedies for those injured by animals, mostly dogs, due to their owner’s carelessness and negligence. We at Jones Wilson Injury Lawyers can help you understand and protect your rights.
What Constitutes a Dangerous Dog?
Nevada has defined exactly what constitutes a dangerous or vicious dog. NRS 202.500 sets forth specifically what would be considered a dangerous animal and proscribes criminal penalties for owners who fail to control these types of animals. Under that statute, a dog shall be considered dangerous when it:
Attacks without provocation on two different events within 18 months.
Acts in such a way that a reasonable person would fear for their wellbeing – the dog must be off its owner’s premises or not within a cage.
A hound is legally considered “vicious” when it injures, maims, or kills a human being without any reasonable cause of provocation.
If a dog is already classified as vicious attacks again, the owner can be found guilty of a felony violation. However, a dog that attacks someone who attacks its owner’s, or its owner’s property nullifies this.
Premises Liability in Dog Bite Cases
Another issue that recurs in dog bite cases is landlord liability for dog bites that occur of their premises by dogs that belong to those landlord’s tenants. If the landlord is aware of the dog’s propensity to be aggressive or bite it can be liable for the damages incurred as well as the property owner – even if the landlord has no ownership of the dog. This often arises when a dog escapes from the rental property and attacks a jogger or a child playing in the area.
What Damages Can I Receive?
Dog bites can cause serious and debilitating injuries. There is often permanent scarring that results. In some extreme cases, a person’s livelihood can be affected by the loss of use of a hand or fingers. Because these cases are complex and often hotly disputed, it is important to obtain an attorney with experience to help you obtain the best possible result after such an unfortunate incident. Obtain the maximum settlement possible by retaining an attorney who can has handled several serious dog bite injuries and can help you obtain the maximum settlement possible.

Later that day, I felt severe pain in my lower back. A friend of mine recommended I contact Jones Wilson law firm. This was the best decision I ever made. During the initial consultation , I was treated with care, dignity, and respect.Next, I received the necessary medical treatment required and I got a huge settlement! Thank you Jones Wilson for caring about me and my family.

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After being rear ended and spun out, I was referred to Justin by a friend who has used his service and is also in his BNI group. At first I wasn't sure if I needed a lawyer or not. Justin suggested if I woke up in the next day or two after feeling anything but 100% to go see a physician and call him. Sure enough, I woke up the next morning with a piercing headache and a tweaked back. My chiropractor was able to deduce where my car was hit and the direction it spun just based on where my pain and problems were. It took several months of negotiations as the person at fault's insurance company didn't want to pay the full amount. However, they were eventually able to negotiate to include pay for my lost wages, and the insurance company paid the full amount of the policy. Both Justin and Liz were incredibly helpful in both keeping me informed through the process and making sure my case was handled properly. Would definitely recommend them and/or use them again if I ever needed to.

I was unaware that additional money was leftover in my case and he was unable to find me when I moved. He contacted me out of the blue to return a sizable amount of money that rightfully belonged to me. I highly recommend this lawyer and I will use him again if I need a personal injury attorney.
