What Constitutes a Vicious Dog Attack in Legal Terms?

A vicious dog attack has specific legal implications for its owner. It’s important to understand how the law defines such an attack and the potential consequences involved. At BILAB Law, we appreciate that the determination of a vicious dog attack is not solely based on one isolated event, so we use any such information to maximize your compensation. Courts consider various factors when making this classification, including:

Severity of Behaviour
A single bite may not automatically be considered a vicious attack. The court examines the seriousness, frequency, and circumstances surrounding the dog’s actions.

History of Aggression
If a dog has been involved in multiple instances of aggressive behavior in the past, this increases the likelihood of it being labeled as vicious.

Special Training
Dogs that have received specific training for purposes like protection or attack may be more easily categorized as such.

Through our extensive knowledge of Alberta’s dog bite laws, BILAB Law helps victims in understanding and navigating these complex criteria effectively, ensuring they receive the appropriate compensation they deserve.

Can I File an Injury Lawsuit for Emotional Distress After a Dog Bite?

Emotional distress is not uncommon after a dog bite incident. It's understandable that victims experience varying degrees of psychological harm, including trauma, anxiety, and fear. This damage can be profound, even in absence of physical injuries. Alberta law allows victims to file a lawsuit seeking compensation for these non-physical damages. However, the road to claiming emotional distress damages has its challenges. A significant hurdle is proving the extent and severity of your distress to the court. Quantifying emotional suffering into exact monetary terms adds another layer of complexity.

But don't despair; BILAB Law's experienced dog bite injury lawyers are skilled at navigating all these complexities and fighting for your rights. With BILAB by your side, rest assured that your emotional trauma won’t be overlooked nor minimized. But time is of the essence when dog bite victims seek legal representation.

What Is Meant by the "Contingency Fee” Method for My Dog Bite Injury Case?

When you hear the term “contingency fee” method, this simply refers to a payment arrangement between you and our lawyer. Under this arrangement, BILAB Law doesn't charge any upfront fees for our services. Instead, we receive payment only if we successfully win your case and recover compensation on your behalf. This percentage is agreed upon before we start representing you in your dog bite injury claim. This arrangement offers several benefits including no risk to you, since you don’t pay unless we win. It also means a shared interest, since we are incentivized to maximize your compensation as our fee depends on the outcome. Furthermore, it enables victims who might not have ready funds to afford quality legal representation. This is one of many reasons why Albertans choose BILAB Law for their dog bite incident personal injury cases. Give us a phone call or fill out our online form today for your free initial dog bite injury consultation, available anytime 24/7.

How Does “Comparative Negligence” Apply to Dog Bite Cases?

In dog bite cases, 'comparative negligence' is a crucial legal concept that comes into play when both the dog owner and the victim may bear some responsibility for the attack. It recognizes that the fault may not lie entirely with one party, and it considers the actions of both sides.

When a dog bite occurs and there is the possibility of shared fault, here's what happens:

Determination of Liability
The extent of fault is evaluated for every person involved in the incident, including both the dog owner and the person who was bitten.

Impact on Compensation
If it is found that the victim had a role in provoking or escalating the attack, their compensation may be adjusted accordingly, based on their percentage of fault.

If you have been bitten by a dog and believe there might be shared blame, our team of expert personal injury lawyers at BILAB Law is here to assist you. We understand all the complexities of comparative negligence in dog bite cases and work diligently to protect your rights while seeking the full compensation you deserve.

What Is The Role of Expert Witnesses in Dog Bite Injury Claims?

When fighting for victims of dog bite injury claims, BILAB Law understands that the input of expert witnesses can be pivotal. These professionals bring a great depth of knowledge to a case which can significantly influence its outcome. Here are some ways these experts contribute: Animal Behaviorists Their insights explain the aggression level of the dog leading up to the bite and whether it was characteristic or an isolated incident. Medical Professionals These experts detail the extent of injuries and forecast all potential long-term effects, reinforcing the claim's validity. By integrating witness testimonies from these experts, BILAB Law ensures that every facet of the incident is thoroughly examined, bolstering your legal position. This comprehensive approach lays a robust foundation to win full compensation for victims of dog bites.

Are Certain Breeds of Dog More Prone to Bites? What Are the Legal Implications?

A common belief is that some dog breeds are more likely to bite or exhibit aggressive behavior than others. However, it's essential to understand that any breed of dog is capable of biting. Factors such as the dog's upbringing, socialization, training, and environment significantly influence its behavior.

In Alberta, the law does not discriminate against specific breeds and emphasizes holding owners responsible for their pets' actions. This means regardless of the breed, if a dog bites, the owner could face legal consequences.

This underscores the importance of having expert legal representation like that from BILAB Law for dog bite incidents. Our proficient team is well-versed in Alberta's animal protection laws and has a proven track record of securing maximum compensation for victims of dog bites from all breeds.

My husband Art was in a serious car accident and we were referred to Barapp Law. We lucked in when Michael Brill agreed to take on his case. He and Irina Tkatcheva were incredibly thorough and patient with us through the whole long and difficult process even when times things felt pretty dismal. We will forever be grateful to both of them for getting us to the finish line. Our sincere thanks and we would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone who would need to be represented knowing that they would not only do an incredible job but they genuinely care. Art and Joanne

My lawyer Nabeel Sera at Barapp Law did a fantastic job representing me. A car hit me while I was riding my bicycle. I was very impressed the way Nabeel logically refuted every point the other lawyer tried at the mediation. The hard work of Nabeel and his assistant Diana Nakangu was the reason I got the proper settlement and not further abused by the system that lets insurance companies ruin peoples lives unfortunate enough to be in a car accident. THANKS FOR HELPING.

Nabeel Sera and his team were able to negotiate a very satisfying settlement for me as a result of a serious automobile accident I suffered two years ago. Several other firms turned my case away but he took it on and along with his team and his determination to see that I was compensated for my pain and suffering I received an amount that will enable me to continue to receive additional physio therapy.

I really appreciated the professional advice and professional results regarding my motor vehicle accident. Micheal Brill and Irina Tkatcheva were assigned to my case at Barapp law after a very informative meeting to discuss my case. If you are in the unfortunate position of being in an accident I highly recommend calling Micheal to review your accident as you may be in a position to collect a huge settlement as in my case.
