My daughter was bit by a dog in Colorado Springs and suffered serious injuries.

Q: My daughter was bit by a dog in Colorado Springs and suffered serious injuries. The attack happened on our street by my neighbor’s pit bull. Do I have any legal rights?

A: If you or any other neighbors have previously noticed that dog’s aggressive behavior and the owner knew of your concerns and ignored them, he might be at fault for ignoring an unreasonable risk of harm. Even if no one mentioned their concerns to your neighbor, you still may be entitled to compensation. It would be in your best interest to retain a lawyer to conduct a thorough investigation and look into the dog’s behavior.  You can require a dog’s temperament to be tested by local authorities.  You can also demand proof of the dog’s recent rabies vaccination.

If your daughter sustained any injuries, seek medical attention immediately and retain all your records.  It would be in your best interest to hire an attorney to pursue compensation for her injuries. Contact an experienced Colorado Springs injury attorney today for legal advice.
