Animal Attacks/Dog Bites
South Carolina dog bite representation
South Carolina law makes a dog owner or caretaker strictly liable for damages suffered by a person bitten or attacked unless it can be shown that the animal was provoked.
If you are the victim of a dog bite or other animal attack, your scars—both physical and mental—can be permanent. Dog and other animal bites can cause injuries ranging from a minor skin break resulting in a scar, to an appearance-altering wound that may require multiple surgeries to correct muscle, nerve, and tissue damage. Plastic surgery may be needed to restore the victim’s injuries and scars to normal appearance.
