Answer:

The other day I was sitting with a client discussing his new dog bite case, and he asked me, “How much is my case worth?” The answer I tell everyone is, obviously, it depends. There’s a lot of factors that go into that. What is the severity of the injuries? Did it leave permanent scarring, disfigurement? Where is that scarring; is it in a place that’s visible to the public, that bothers that person, that causes them to cover up or makes them afraid to go out in public? Is it something that has had a severe psychological effect on them? These are all things that go into the damages regarding scarring and disfigurement.

The amount of medical bills and the amount of medical treatment required are factors that need to be considered, as well— if there was time missed from work, if it’s impacted their ability to work in the future, if these are lifelong injuries versus and injury that eventually healedthen went away. Because there are so many factors involved in determining the value of the case, it’s crucial that someone injured in a dog bite case in Orlando reach out and contact a knowledgeable, well-educated, and well-trained trial attorney.
