Dog Bites & Attacks

Getting Compensation for Animal Attack Victims

If you or a loved one has been the victim of a dog bite or attack, you have the right to seek compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages and other costs. You have the right to enlist the help of an experienced attorney.

At the law firm of Zamler, Mellen & Shiffman, we have been helping victims of dog bites and dog attacks since 1969. Over the years, we have helped over 150,000 people and recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for victims of negligence in Detroit, Oakland County and the surrounding parts of Michigan. Our goal is to use our experience to get you the compensation you need.

Doing the Work in Dog Attack Cases

Dog owners are responsible for the behavior of their pets, and can be held liable when their animal bites or attacks someone. When we handle dog bite or animal attack cases, our attorneys solidify our strategy by backing it up with research. By reviewing police reports and animal control records, we often find that a dog is a dangerous animal. We find evidence of previous vicious behavior. With the facts on our side, we take action.

Going Beyond Dog Bites

Many dog attack cases involve animals biting the victim. When the victim is a child, a dog bite can leave behind both physical and emotional scars.

However, we handle more than just dog bite cases. We frequently represent people who have suffered severe injuries because they were knocked down by a dog. A child or an elderly person, even a healthy adult, can suffer broken bones or worse if a large animal jumps on them and knocks them to the ground.

No Fee Unless You Get Compensation

We won't charge you one dime unless we are successful in getting you compensation. That's our commitment to you, and it's one we stand behind.
