Toms River Frequently Asked Questions
When you schedule your free consultation with The New Jersey Dog Bite Lawyer, you should come prepared with specific questions for us to address. Some of the common questions clients ask us are:
Which Parties Can Be Held Responsible in a Dog Bite Case?
Beyond the dog’s owner, New Jersey law allows multiple parties to be held responsible for injuries associated with a dog attack. For example, David Cowhey has litigated cases against landlords when a tenant is attacked on their Ocean County property. Cases can also be brought against dog breeders, dog handlers and homeowners.
What Should I Do Immediately After a Toms River Dog Bite Attack?
In the moments after the attack, your first priority should be your health. Visit the closest emergency room to your Ocean County location. Here is a list of emergency care facilities throughout the community.
How Do I Respond to Insurance Company Contact?
In some cases, when the dog’s owner reports the attack to their insurance company immediately, the company may contact you directly within a few days of the event. They may even present a settlement offer. Advise the insurance company you will be speaking with an attorney before communicating with them. Then call David Cowhey for a free consultation to discuss your case.
