What Factors Impact Settlement Amounts for Dog Bite Claims?

Some of the factors that impact settlement amounts in a dog bite claim can include the nature of the injury. For example, if this injury has led to permanent nerve damage. As an example, I had one case where she was bit by a very small dog on the leg but it damaged her nerve and it caused her foot to have limited mobility there. In this case it impacted her ability to walk,  her ability to run, and caused her constant pain. So not only was she dealing with the pain and suffering from being bit by a dog, but she had ongoing and lasting injuries there too.  Another example might be the location of the dog bite. For example, if you have a scar in a very visible place that may also impact the recovery that you’re entitled to.
