Dog bite: Are Doctor bills included in the lawyers compensation amount?

If you are bitten by a dog in NJ, there is a strict liability law.   You do not have to show that the dog has a dangerous propensity or had previously bitten someone else.   Be careful, some home owners policies are now excluding dog bites, so check yours.   Lawsuits for dog bites are brought for pain, suffering, disability and impairment, loss of enjoyment of life, wage loss, and disfigurement.   The medical bills are part of the claim and part of the lawsuit.   The more serious the injury the more the case is worth.   The total settlement will include the medical bills.    These can be very good cases and we would like to meet with you if you do not have a NJ attorney
