Dog Bite Injury

Charlotte Dog Bite Injury Attorneys

Representing Children & Adults for Dog Bite Cases in NC

When it is not fatal, a dog attack can cause serious injuries. Victims can suffer lacerations, disfigurement, and scarring. There can be psychological harm too, especially when the victim is a child. The victims of dog bites who suffer injuries, financial losses, and emotional distress may be entitled to compensation from the dog’s owner and the owner’s insurance company.

However, such cases can present complex factual and legal issues. You need a law firm that can conduct a thorough investigation, carefully analyze the results of that investigation, and skillfully advocate for you before a jury or in settlement negotiations.

Jetton & Meredith is an experienced personal injury team in Charlotte that seeks full compensation for the victims of negligence. In your case, we can investigate the dog attack, identify the medical care and rehabilitation services you need to recover, and place a value on financial losses and suffering. Jetton & Meredith provides aggressive representation throughout the state of North Carolina, seeking favorable results on your behalf.*

What to Do After a Dog Bite Injury

At Jetton & Meredith, we understand that in the aftermath of a dog attack, you may be feeling dazed, anxious, and unsure what to do next.

If you or a family member has suffered a dog bite injury, there are some important steps you need to take:

Get medical care: Even if the injuries do not appear serious, obtain medical care as soon as possible.
Try to identify the dog or its owner: Medical personnel will need to know if the dog has been vaccinated for rabies. If it hasn’t or the dog cannot be found, the dog bite victim may have to undergo a series of painful shots.
Write down your recollection of the attack: Dog attacks can happen suddenly, but do your best to remember the sequence of events leading to the attack and what happened afterward. If the dog has bitten other people or exhibited threatening behavior in the past, note that and make sure you tell us.

Should we take on your case, we will conduct a thorough investigation and put our experience to work for you, fighting for a positive outcome.* We understand that you are going through a lot right now – rest assured that your well-being is our priority.

In a consultation, our Charlotte dog bite attorneys can explain your rights and discuss how we can help you. Call us at (704) 931-5535 to schedule yours today.

The Opinions that Matter Most

"Fabulous lawyer, highly recommend for any family law cases!!"
Prompt, thorough, understanding and knowledgeable, are only a few of the adjectives that describe Jetton & Meredith. Fabulous lawyers, highly recommend for any family law cases!!

- Former Client
"A True Professional"
Eric Meredith represented me during what turned out to be a lengthy divorce settlement. During the first meeting, he fully explained the process ahead and answered all my questions and concerns. I still remember the feeling of relief after that meeting knowing I had a true professional in my corner. Eric, along with his Paralegal Julie, kept me updated along the way and were quick to respond with any additional issues. Not only did he call with any updates to the case, he also would ask how I was doing. I cannot recommend Eric at Jetton & Meredith enough.

- Tim
"I highly recommend Mark should you ever need an attorney."
I highly recommend Mark. I hired him to handle a simple assault charge that was filed against me. Mark handled it professionally and expeditiously. He explained each step in the process, and everything happened just as he described. He is exactly the type of lawyer you want representing you.

- J&M Client
"Great service and very personal."
Great service and very personal. Jetton & Meredith are very hardworking attorneys. I will recommend Jetton & Meredith to anyone in need.

- Former Client
"I cannot stress enough how great the customer service was with Jetton & Meredith"
I cannot stress enough how great the customer service was with Jetton & Meredith, with my case being a little more complicated I had the opportunity to work with both Mr. Jetton and Mr. Meredith. I can say they know their stuff, Mr. Jetton was able to get my case dismissed the first time we went to court, no questions asked. Working with Mr. Meredith was a longer process but he walked me through the steps and gave me realistic expectations of an outcome that he was able to provide just as he stated he would do. I couldn’t be more pleased with my decision to hire Jetton & Meredith as my attorneys, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of an attorney!

- Former Client
"Far exceeded my expectations"
This law office far exceeded my expectations. All options and possible outcomes were set before me from the start and everything was handled in a professional and timely manner. Not only will I use this law firm again, but I would also and have already recommended them to the people I care most for. Thank you for all you’ve done.
