Georgia’s Dog Bite Laws Are Unique.

Every state has its own animal liability laws, including dog bite laws, and Georgia is no exception.  Familiarity with these laws is key to obtaining a recovery in a dog bite case.  Every case is unique and results depend on the specific facts and circumstances of each case.  And as much as past results, like the ones set forth above, do not guarantee similar outcomes in future cases, it is important if you or a loved one has been the victim of a dog bite in Georgia to seek the assistance of an experienced dog bite attorney to guarantee you receive full and just compensation for your injuries. An attorney who is well-versed in Georgia’s dog bite laws can help you gather the necessary evidence to prove the elements of the Georgia Dog Bite Statute (O.C.G.A. 51-2-7) and navigate the legal process. Since claims must typically be brought within two years after the bite, it is important to act quickly and seek legal assistance as soon as possible. An attorney from our firm can increase your chances of recovering maximum compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, scarring, and other damages related to the dog bite or animal attack.

What Our Clients Say

Working with Andrew and Stacey was nothing short of a friendly and very professional experience. All questions about my dog bite case were answered in a prompt and timely manner. I would highly recommended Andrew and his team for your legal matters.

 Arlene W

I worked with Andrew Gebhardt to settle a personal injury case. I was an out-of-state visitor to GA and was attacked by a dog. Throughout the entire process, I was treated with compassion and understanding, which was really important to me in such a vulnerable time. I felt I was given realistic expectations from the beginning, provided excellent guidance and representation throughout, and reached an outcome I was happy with. Andrew was wonderful at having my back and Stacey makes every step of the process easy and is a delight to talk with to boot. I would not hesitate to recommend them to a friend or family member in the future if the need were to arise!

 Kristina C.

These people are a must if you’re in this kind of situation. I was always kept in the loop of what was going on, even with all the disruptions covid brought along. Super people. I will always be so grateful to them. I’d give 20 stars if I could!!
