> If you were attacked by a dog in Montana, you don’t have to deal with your injuries alone. Reach out for a dog bite lawyer to help you recover financially from the attack.

Dogs may be one of the most common pets people choose, but that doesn’t mean they’re always safe to be around. Even the most well-behaved dog may attack without warning, leaving you with serious injuries and trauma caused by the injuries. Unfortunately, the at-fault party may not be willing to compensate you, leaving you seriously injured and struggling to recover from those injuries.

At Craig Swapp & Associates, our Montana injury lawyers understand how serious even a small dog’s bite can be. Fortunately, your Montana dog bite lawyer is here to help you get compensated when a dog bites you, protecting your health and safety when you’re suffering.

Common Injuries in Montana Dog Bites

Many people don’t think much about the damage a dog bite can do, but your injuries may be devastating. Even a small dog can leave deep puncture wounds , which are difficult to clean. That can lead to serious infections and diseases, including rabies . This virus has no cure, and it can be deadly if you don’t receive emergency treatment.

When dealing with bigger dogs, you may have more severe injuries. A dog’s jaws can break bones, especially in areas with many smaller bones, like the hands. That can lead to permanent damage, including nerve damage and scarring.

Who’s Responsible for a Montana Dog Attack?

When you’re hurt by a dog, you need to know who’s responsible. Luckily, your Montana dog attack lawyer has the right tools for your claim and can help you identify the at-fault party.

Typically, the dog owner is responsible for their dog’s actions. They’re liable for the actions of their dog, even if the dog has never bitten anyone before. Your lawyer can help you prove the dog left you seriously injured and can help you hold the owner responsible.

Compensation for Dog Bite Victims

When you’re hurt by a dog bite, you need compensation that covers all your damages and suffering, not just what the at-fault party is willing to pay. That means you may need to seek both economic and non-economic damages to cover the financial and mental toll a dog bite can have on you.

Unsure what compensation you’re due? Your attorney can help. If you’ve been bitten by a dog, talk to your lawyer about the compensation you’re due, which may include the following:

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
