Getting attacked by an animal can be a traumatizing experience. You can be confused and frustrated after being injured. You should try to gather as much information and evidence as possible.
Contact Information
Immediately, get the contact information of the dog owner. Try your best to get the full name, phone number, home address, homeowners insurance policy, and other relevant information of the dog owner. These details are extremely useful if you decide to start a legal claim or lawsuit. Sometimes, if the person does not properly answer your questions, you can call the police and ask them to come there and make a written report.
Photographs & Videos
Also, photographs and videos can be amazing evidence. So, try to take pictures of the dog, the dog owner, where the incident happened, your physical injuries, and more. These images can be proof of the dog, the severity of your injuries, and more. Usually, the sooner you take photos of your injuries, the better the severity of your injuries are shown. This can be a big factor when determining your physical damages during a legal case.
Insurance Coverage
If the dog owner does not have insurance, suing him can be a lot more difficult. Usually, we look for homeowners insurance. Thankfully, these insurance policies could be very big. Unfortunately, if the person does not have insurance, you might have to sue the dog owner personally. However, depending on his economic situation, the person might not be able to pay a lot of money personally. Sometimes, by researching the home address of the owner of the dog, we can research to locate any existing insurance policy. For example, this can be a homeowners insurance policy, renters insurance policy, or possibly another kind.
