If you are attacked by a dog, there are various types of compensation that you will be able to claim, depending on the circumstances of your case. These may include:
Lost wages: You may need to take time away from work to recover from the dog bite, and that means missing out on your salary or hourly wages.
Future earnings: Sometimes, dog bite attacks are so severe that they may prevent you from returning to your previous job. If this happens, you may be able to claim an estimate of what your future earnings would have been.
Wrongful death: In rare cases, a dog bite attack can result in death. If you lose a loved one to a dog attack, then you can claim wrongful death against the owner.
Medical costs: If you or a loved one is attacked by a dog, there will be medical costs to treat the bite and any lasting effects. Those bills can be added to your claim.
Pain and suffering: A type of non-economic damages, pain and suffering accounts for the mental and emotional impact that the dog bite attack had on you and your family.
