Recovering Physically and Financially from a Dog Bite

Dog bites can result in severe physical injuries, including puncture wounds, lacerations, infections, and, in some cases, permanent scarring or disfigurement. Beyond the physical trauma, victims often experience significant emotional distress and financial burdens due to medical bills and lost wages. Our attorneys are committed to providing compassionate and effective legal representation to help you recover both physically and financially.

No Fee Unless We Win Your Case

At Puntillo Camilli & Hughes S.C., we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you won't pay any legal fees unless we win your case. This ensures that you can pursue justice without the added stress of upfront legal costs. Our team will conduct a thorough investigation of the incident, gather necessary evidence, and work tirelessly to build a strong case on your behalf.

We believe that every victim of a dog bite deserves to have their voice heard and their suffering acknowledged. Our goal is to secure maximum compensation for your injuries, pain and suffering, and any other related expenses.

Report Your Dog Bite Injury

It is crucial to report dog bites as soon as they occur, regardless of whether you plan to pursue legal action. If an animal displays aggressive behavior, it is necessary to inform the authorities. In case you were fortunate enough to escape severe injury, the dog may attack someone else in the future, and having a prior documented incident could assist that individual in recovering damages.

Animal owners are held responsible for the damages caused by their pets in Wisconsin. If the owner has previously received notice that their dog has injured someone, they must pay twice the damages for any subsequent incidents.

Dog bite damages may include:

Medical bills

Pain and suffering

Loss of income

Property damage

Loss of consortium

Punitive damages.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was severely injured in a motorcycle accident last summer. Roberto Puntillo took great time and effort to not only be thorough in explaining the path that we could or should take and my options but was far more financially fair and reasonable than any other attorney I spoke to throughout the process. The end result was a success and I netted far more financially utilizing Roberta Puntillo than any of the multiple other attorneys I consulted with. I would not hesitate to retain her as council again if ever needed.
