Lowry & Associates has helped many Maine dog bite accident victims get the compensation they deserve.

Dog bites can be very serious and very traumatic injuries. Injuries caused by dog bites include disfiguring facial injuries, broken bones, lacerations and puncture wounds, which often result in significant scarring, and even death, as well as significant danger of infection. Damages in these cases, as in other personal injury cases, include medical bills as well mental pain and physical suffering. Children are the most common victims of dog bites, and the trauma caused by this type of accident injury often results in personality problems such as nightmares, bed wetting, undue fear of all dogs and general withdrawal.

Often when a person is bitten by a dog, the owner's insurance company will contend that the owner is not responsible since the dog previously was well-behaved. Maine law does not necessarily require a showing of dangerousness or vicious propensities, so every dog does not get “one free bite” as the public often thinks. In most cases the owner is responsible regardless of the previous well- behaved nature of his or her dog. Lowry & Associates have successfully represented accident clients who have been injured by both obviously dangerous and previously docile dogs.

Additionally, there is a procedure for asking a court to order the euthanizing of a dangerous dog, or to force the owner to take other steps to protect the public.
