I need help with a dog bite and retaliation claim

Answered 5 days ago by attorney Loren L. Gold   |   2 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Dog Bites

Even if it is determined that your son does not have a viable personal injury claim, you should speak to a workers' compensation attorneyon his behalf  asap to avoid any reporting problems as well as a retaliatory discharge claim for yourself.

You can find many excellent attorneys using legal directories such as Martindale.com, Lawyers.com and AVVO.com.  Best regards, Jonathan R. Ratchik, Esq.
