Quick Summary for Dog Bite Victims: If a dog in Utah has bitten you or your child, you have strong legal protections. Utah is a strict liability state, meaning dog owners are legally responsible for any injuries their dog causesāeven if the animal has never shown aggression before. The Law Office of Roberto Hernandez represents dog bite victims across Murray, Salt Lake City, Sandy, Midvale, and Draper, pursuing homeowners’ insurance policies to cover emergency medical bills, necessary reconstructive surgeries, and emotional trauma.
The Devastating Impact of a Dog Attack
A dog attack is a terrifying, violent event that happens in a matter of seconds but leaves scars that can last a lifetime. Beyond the immediate physical pain and risk of infection, victims often suffer profound psychological trauma. This is especially true for young children, who are disproportionately the victims of severe dog bites due to their size and proximity to the animal.
At The Law Office of Roberto Hernandez, we understand that recovering from an animal attack is both a physical and emotional journey. Insurance companies frequently attempt to minimize these claims, arguing that a victim provoked the animal or that the injuries aren’t severe enough to warrant substantial compensation. We aggressively push back against these tactics, ensuring your voice is heard and your future is protected.
