Davis Law Group founder
Christopher Davis is the author of a new book designed to help dog bite victims understand their legal rights.
When The Dog Bites was written to help dog bite victims and their families navigate the legal process when they, or a loved one, have been seriously injured by a dog.
“Serious dog attacks will not end until more dog owners start to take responsibility and properly train and contain their animals, especially dangerous breeds such as Rottweilers and pit bulls,” said Davis. “I wrote the book because victims of dog attacks need a good resource to help them understand their legal rights, learn how to get their medical bills paid, and hold the dog owner responsible.”
In
When The Dog Bites, Davis offers basic facts about dog bites; defines the legal and settlement process for animal attack cases; gives tips on communicating with insurance companies when dealing with medical costs; offers insight into how to determine the value of a dog bite claim; and discusses common questions and legal issues that are often present in dog bite cases. Davis also helps dog bite victims understand the pros and cons of hiring an attorney.
