Magendzo Law
Dog Bite Lawyers in New York
A dog bite can leave deep wounds, infections and scars, and it is frightening, especially for children. We review what happened and who is responsible for the dog.
Dog bite cases depend on details like who owned or was caring for the dog, where the bite happened and whether the dog had acted aggressively before. In some situations, a landlord or building owner may also share responsibility.
Magendzo Law reviews what happened, gathers your medical records, photos and any reports, and explains your options. We explain the process in English or Spanish and follow up at every stage.
Common Situations
- Bites from a neighbor's or friend's dog
- Attacks on the street or in a park
- Dogs in apartment buildings and common areas
- Children bitten by dogs
- Falls caused by a dog knocking someone down
- Bites to delivery workers and mail carriers
