Milwaukee • Waukesha • New Berlin
Dog bites on children or adults can cause scarring and other permanent injuries. The shock and trauma of an animal attack can cause a lifelong fear of dogs. A dog owner is responsible for their dog and can be held accountable for any damage that you or your child has experienced from the animal attack.
At Karp Law Offices, S.C. we work to obtain the maximum fair settlement possible for a person injured from a dog bite. You may be entitled to recover damages that include:
- Medical costs and mental health costs
- Pain and suffering

Steps to Take From a Dog Attack
- Call healthcare professionals
- Get treatment for injuries and for rabies, if necessary
- Get the name and address of the dog owner
- Take photos of the injuries
- Get the names and addresses of all witnesses
- Keep records of everything that has happened
- Contact caring, capable and experienced personal injury lawyer
We Fully Investigate
We will find out exactly what happened and where it happened. Issues that come into play include whether the dog left the owner's property or whether you were a visitor in the house. We will learn whether the dog had a history of violent attacks.
The Law Is On Your Side
Unless you in some way induced the dog to attack, the Wisconsin law is clear: the dog owner is responsible for damages that you experienced. If the attack happened to a child under the age of seven years old, the dog owner is always responsible, no matter what. Children that young are not expected to understand the dangers of their actions around a dog.
