We recover full compensation for victims who have suffered a range of dog bite injuries, such as:
- Lacerations and puncture wounds

In addition, we represent families in wrongful death lawsuits after a child or other family member is killed in a dog attack.
Our Lawyers Understand Dog Bite Laws in Tennessee
Dog owners are required to follow leash laws and other applicable laws in order to protect bystanders and prevent serious attacks from occurring. Even the tamest dog can suddenly turn on someone and maul them causing serious injuries. However, when a dog has been known as a vicious dog (such as from previous attacks or from barking or aggressively growling at neighbors passing by), it is essential that the owner take proper precautions to prevent attacks. Otherwise, the dog owner may be held personally responsible for the animal attack.
If you or a loved one has been bitten by a Rottweiler, Akita, German Shepherd, Pit Bull, Terrier or other dog, our attorneys can help you recover compensation for your injuries. To schedule an initial consultation, contact our personal injury lawyers at Stulce & Yantis.
