Protecting Dog Bite Victims Across Philadelphia

Dog attacks happen in an instant, and they often leave more than physical scars. Whether it’s a bite at a city park, a neighbor’s home, or on the streets of South Philly, these incidents can lead to serious injuries and emotional trauma. Victims shouldn’t have to face insurance companies or negligent owners alone.

At Kwartler Manus, our dog bite attorneys in Philadelphia represent dog bite victims throughout the city and across Pennsylvania. Our team moves quickly to secure evidence, identify the dog owner, and hold them accountable under state law. We understand the local statutes, city leash rules, and liability standards that govern these cases, and we use them to your advantage.

Dog Bite Laws in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania has strict laws that protect victims of dog attacks. The Pennsylvania Dog Law requires owners to control their animals at all times. If a dog injures someone without provocation, the owner is legally responsible for the harm their animal caused.

For severe injuries, such as deep lacerations, nerve damage, or disfigurement, owners can be held fully liable for all medical costs and related losses.

Even in cases involving minor injuries, victims can pursue claims for negligence or failure to follow safety laws, such as leash and containment regulations.

Our firm is deeply familiar with Philadelphia’s municipal codes and the way they interact with state law. We don’t waste time debating fault; we prove it and push for maximum compensation.

Where Dog Attacks Happen in Philadelphia

Philadelphia ranks among the highest in Pennsylvania for reported dog bite incidents. These attacks often happen in public spaces where safety should be guaranteed.

We regularly handle cases involving:

  • Off-leash dogs in public parks or sidewalks
  • Attacks in apartment complexes or rental properties
  • Aggressive dogs left unsupervised around children
  • Postal and delivery worker injuries
  • Negligent pet owners ignoring prior warnings

Every case starts with an investigation. We track down witnesses, medical records, and prior complaints about the animal to prove that the owner should have prevented the attack.

The Consequences of a Dog Bite Injury

Dog bites can cause devastating and long-term harm. Beyond puncture wounds, victims can experience permanent disfigurement, nerve injury, and lasting fear or anxiety.

Common injuries include:

  • Deep lacerations and torn muscle tissue
  • Scarring or facial disfigurement
  • Nerve damage or infection
  • Rabies and other bacterial diseases
  • Emotional trauma and post-traumatic stress

We’ve seen how these cases affect every part of a person’s life: from self-confidence to earning ability. Our goal is to restore both.

What You Can Recover in a Dog Bite Claim

The aftermath of a dog attack can be financially and emotionally overwhelming. Pennsylvania law allows victims to pursue full compensation for their losses, not just medical bills.

Recoverable damages can include:

  • Medical treatment and follow-up care
  • Lost wages or income from time off work
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Permanent scarring or disfigurement
  • Counseling and psychological treatment

We calculate every cost, immediate and future, to make sure your recovery covers what you’ve truly lost.
