We Handle All Types of Animal Attack Cases in Georgia
Dog Bite Claims
Georgia follows a “modified one-bite rule” requiring proof of three elements: the dog was vicious or violated a leash law, the owner was careless in managing the dog, and you didn’t provoke the attack.
Key fact: Violating local leash laws can automatically establish the dog’s dangerous nature, making your case stronger even without prior bite history.
Exotic and Wild Animal Attacks
Property owners can be liable for injuries from wild animals on their property, including attacks from snakes, bears, livestock, and other animals. Strict liability may apply if the owner knew or should have known about dangerous animals.
Third-Party Liability Cases
We pursue all responsible parties, including veterinarians, groomers, boarders, landlords, and even parents of minor children whose animals cause attacks. Many cases have multiple sources of liability.
Homeowner’s Insurance Claims
Most standard homeowner’s policies cover animal attack liability with minimum coverage of $25,000, but many provide higher limits. Coverage typically applies whether the attack occurs on or off the owner’s property.
Legal Notice: Georgia animal attack laws are complex and fact-specific. The information above is general and not intended as legal advice for your specific situation.
Our Proven Process for Animal Attack Cases
Free Consultation (Within 24 hours)
Case evaluation with an experienced attorney, discussion of your legal rights and available options. No obligation or upfront costs.
Investigation Phase (If we accept your case)
We preserve evidence, collect medical records, interview witnesses, obtain animal control reports, and notify insurance companies.
Negotiation & Resolution
We prepare a detailed demand package, negotiate aggressively for full compensation, and prepare for trial if necessary.
Most animal attack cases in Georgia resolve within approximately 15 months on average, with the majority settling before trial.
Important: Case duration and outcomes cannot be guaranteed. Each case depends on its specific facts and circumstances.

- Witness memories fade over time
- Insurance companies start their investigations immediately
