Dog Bites

North Providence, Rhode Island, Attorney Handling Cases Involving Dog Bites and Animal Attacks

Dog bites can be serious injuries with potential long-term consequences, especially for children. While Rhode Island's premises liability laws impose "strict liability" for anyone who keeps a dog outside an enclosure — not just the owner — no two cases are alike. The location of the attack, local leash laws and the nature of the injuries — bites, scratches, trauma — each play a critical role in the outcome.

Providence-based attorney Mark B. Morse is board certified in civil trial law by the National Board of Trial Advocacy. He knows legal ramifications of dog bites on victims and their families. At the Law Office of Mark B. Morse, we have spent nearly three decades aggressively pursuing compensation for injured people in Providence, North Providence and surrounding communities.

Learn Your Legal Options After Being Bitten by a Dog or Domestic Animal

If you or a family member suffers an injury in an unprovoked attack, you have the right to seek compensation for all of your injuries, expenses and other losses. The Law Office of Mark B. Morse has handled cases where dog bites caused serious injuries such as:

• Severe lacerations, including muscle and tissue damage
• Broken bones
• Disfiguring scars
• Emotional harm
• Neurological damage

In some cases, kids are merely petting the dog, the dog is outside the owners' property, or the pet owner allowed the dog to roam without a leash. Our firm understands how to protect victims' and their rights. When the injuries were caused by dogs that had bitten someone before, it may be appropriate to seek double compensation.

We also focus our efforts on prevention of accidents by educating pet owners on their rights and responsibilities at seminars as a community service.
