Michigan Dog Bite Lawyer

Q: Can I sue if someone else’s dog bit me?

Yes. Michigan law holds dog owners strictly liable in most bite cases, even if the dog never acted aggressive before.

Q: What if the bite happened at a friend or neighbor’s house?

You can still file a claim. Most are handled through homeowner’s insurance not personal lawsuits.

Q: What if the dog’s owner says it was my fault?

They’ll try. We build your case to show the truth and hold the right party accountable.

Q: What compensation can I recover?

Medical bills, reconstructive procedures, scar treatment, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Q: Does it matter if the bite didn’t break skin?

Yes. Scratches, bruising, and emotional trauma may still qualify, especially in children.

Q: What if Animal Control never responded or didn’t file a report?

We can still investigate. But the sooner you call us, the more we can preserve.

They’ll say the dog was “just scared.” That it’s “never bitten anyone before.” But excuses don’t heal puncture wounds or erase trauma. If someone else’s animal hurt you or your child, you deserve accountability.

Why Michigan Dog Bite Victims Call Femminineo Law

Dog bites aren’t just painful, they’re traumatic. Especially when they happen to children. But too often, owners deny fault, blame the victim, or insist their pet “didn’t mean it.” That’s not good enough.

At Femminineo Law, we take these cases personally. Because we’ve seen what a bite can do: permanent scarring, nerve damage, infections, surgeries, emotional trauma. These aren’t harmless incidents. They’re life-altering attacks. Whether it happened in a neighborhood, at a park, or on someone’s property, you have rights. And we’re here to protect them.

How The Accident Response Team Handles Dog Bite Cases

Time matters. Injuries fade. Stories change. And dog owners often “go dark” once a claim gets serious. That’s why our team acts fast.

Medical Experts assess bite depth, tissue damage, and infection risk; helping us document the full scope of injury. Investigators identify the dog’s history like past incidents, prior aggression, and leash law violations. Witness Coordinators gather statements while details are fresh. Animal Control Liaisons help retrieve official records or incident reports. And Legal Analysts make sure every angle, premises liability, negligence, leash laws, is fully explored.
