Personal Injury
Dog Bites & Attacks
Holding owners accountable when a dog attack leaves lasting harm.
Dog attacks cause serious physical wounds and lasting emotional trauma, especially for children. Colorado’s dog-bite law gives victims a strong avenue for recovery: owners can be held strictly liable for economic damages when a dog causes serious bodily injury, even without a prior history of aggression.
We help victims recover for medical treatment, reconstructive surgery, scarring, and the psychological impact of an attack, while handling the difficult dynamics that arise when the owner is a neighbor, friend, or acquaintance.

Medical care
Bites often require emergency treatment, surgery, and infection control.
Scarring
Permanent scarring and disfigurement can warrant significant compensation.
Emotional harm
Attacks cause lasting fear and trauma, especially in children.
Insurance recovery
Homeowner or renter policies frequently cover these claims.
We document the severity of the injuries and the circumstances of the attack, and we identify the applicable insurance coverage so your recovery does not depend on the owner’s personal finances.
We handle the claim professionally and discreetly — recovering fair compensation while managing the sensitivities of a case that may involve someone you know.
For serious bodily injury, Colorado imposes strict liability for economic damages regardless of the dog’s history. A prior bite is not required.
Compensation typically comes from the owner’s homeowner or renter insurance rather than out of pocket, which we pursue on your behalf.
These claims are about accessing insurance coverage, not punishing a loved one. We handle them sensitively while protecting your child’s interests.
