If you suffer an injury as a result of negligence, you may be entitled to compensation. There are medical expenses to pay for, lost wages to make up and property you may need to replace or repair. While insurance companies may claim they will help you with these burdens, they may not have your interests in mind, as they may be more focused on minimizing the amount they payout.

Dogs are generally loving and friendly animals that make great pets. But some dogs are naturally aggressive, while others are not properly trained and socialized by their owners. When these dogs get loose or encounter a passerby, they are likely to bite, knock down or otherwise attack.

If you or a loved one has been seriously injured by another person's dog, you have the right to pursue compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, disfigurement, lost wages and other damages.At Unsell, Schattnik & Phillips, P.C., our attorneys will fight to hold the at-fault owners liable and to make sure that your award or settlement accurately reflects the full value of your claim.

An injury on the job automatically makes you eligible for workers' compensation, regardless of any fault. As you recover, you can use those benefits to help pay medical expenses and supplement any wages you may lose as a result. These benefits are crucial if you have suffered a serious injury.

However, insurance companies and other entities involved in your claim do not necessarily work in your best interests, and having an injury leaves you vulnerable to workplace demotion and even termination.It is important to attain legal counsel as quickly as possible after a workers' compensation claim has been filed.
