Another difference in Louisiana’s law, which is favorable for any person injure by a dog, is the that the law covers damage caused by the animal and is not limited to bites. You may be able to recover damages not just for the harm caused by an animal’s bite, but also for other injuries. If the animal also knocked you down causing a broken wrist, head injury, or other damage a Ponchatoula dog bite attorney could hold the dog owner liable for not just bite wounds, but the full extent of your injuries.
