Top-Rated Dog Bite Lawyers

Our Midland dog bite lawyers represent people who are bitten, knocked down, or attacked by a dog. These cases often result in large settlement payout amounts, especially when the victim is a child.

The Michigan dog bite statute holds the owner or keeper of the dog strictly liable to the victim for the injuries resulting from the bite. A dog owner is also liable for the failure to properly leash or restrain the dog on both public and private property.

Midland has an ordinance (Sec. 3-17)  that makes it unlawful to allow any dog to run at large or stray beyond the property of the owner, unless the under reasonable control.

A person bitten by someone’s dog on public or private property can also sue for the attack under this ordinance.

Call our Midland dog bite attorneys now to get a great settlement.

In Midland and throughout Michigan, most injury and accident cases have a three-year deadline filing a lawsuit. This is known as the statute of limitations. It applies to all case types, including car accidents, defective properties, dog bites, and other negligence cases.

The time deadline for medical malpractice and nursing home neglect lawsuits is shorter. In those cases, there is a two-year time limit to file your lawsuit.
