Holding Pet Owners Accountable
It is estimated that 4.7 million people suffer dog bites each year in the U.S. While adults can certainly be hurt in animal attacks, the majority of individuals bitten are children. Because young people are less in tune with animal behavior and are generally not able to defend themselves as well, they are at particular risk for dog bite injuries.
If you or your child has been attacked by a dog, I can help. My name is Jack W. Swan. At my firm, the Law Office of Jack W. Swan, LLC, I help dog bite victims pursue fair compensation for their physical injuries and emotional distress. I have 29 years of legal experience and proudly serve clients in North Charleston, South Carolina, and the surrounding communities.
Who Is Liable?
In South Carolina, a dog's owner is generally responsible for the animal's behavior. Owners are presumed to know if their animal has aggressive tendencies. Some dog breeds, particularly pit bulls and Rottweilers, are assumed to be more dangerous dogs. However, any animal can be a vicious dog.
The state is holding owners more accountable for a pet's behavior. The "one bite" law, which allowed a dog to bite someone once without liability, is no longer in effect in South Carolina.
Dog Bites Can Result in Serious Injuries
While some dog bite injuries are fairly minor, others can be severe. Common injuries include:
- Puncture wounds
- Lacerations
- Fractures
- Broken bones
- Sprains
- Infections
- Scarring
- Disfigurement
Regardless of your injury, I will work as your attorney to pursue fair recovery.
