What Is My Las Vegas Dog Bite Case Worth?

Every dog bite case is unique. The value of your claim depends on the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, and the long-term impact on your life. We’ll help you pursue compensation for:

Reconstructive surgery or scar revision

Emotional trauma and PTSD
Pain and suffering
Loss of enjoyment of life
Emergency medical treatment and hospital bills

Our Las Vegas personal injury lawyers will evaluate your case carefully and fight for every dollar you deserve under Nevada law.

Nevada Dog Bite Laws and Liability

Unlike some states, Nevada doesn’t have a strict “one bite rule.” Instead, dog owners can be held liable for injuries caused by their pets if they were negligent or knew their dog had dangerous tendencies.

Liability can arise from:

Failing to restrain a dog in public
Ignoring leash laws
Allowing an aggressive dog to roam freely
Failing to warn guests about a dangerous animal

Our attorneys will investigate whether the owner violated state or local laws and hold them accountable for the harm they caused.

Common Injuries from Dog Bites

Dog attacks can cause severe, often disfiguring injuries. Some of the most common include:

Deep puncture wounds and lacerations
Infections and nerve damage
Broken bones or crushed tissue
Scarring and disfigurement
Facial trauma and eye injuries
Psychological trauma, including anxiety or PTSD

Dog bite victims, especially children, often face long recovery periods, multiple surgeries, and ongoing emotional distress. Our firm works with top medical and mental health experts to ensure your damages reflect the true cost of your injuries.

Can I Still Recover Compensation if I’m Partially at Fault?

Yes in many cases. Nevada follows a modified comparative negligence rule, which means you can still recover compensation as long as you are less than 51% at fault for the incident.

If you’re partially blamed (for example, accused of provoking the dog), your award will be reduced by your percentage of fault. Our attorneys will fight to protect you from unfair blame and ensure you receive full and fair compensation.

Why Dog Bites Happen in Las Vegas

Dog attacks in Las Vegas can happen anywhere: neighborhoods, parks, apartment complexes, or hotels. Common causes include:

Poorly trained or aggressive dogs
Negligent pet owners
Dogs not leashed or fenced properly
Irresponsible breeders or property owners
Delivery or service workers encountering unrestrained dogs

No matter where or how it happened, our firm will identify who’s responsible and hold them accountable for your injuries.

Statute of Limitations for Dog Bite Lawsuits in Nevada

Under Nevada law, you generally have two years from the date of the attack to file a personal injury lawsuit. Missing this deadline means you could lose your right to recover compensation. Evidence disappears quickly: witnesses move, injuries heal, and dogs are relocated. Contact our dog bite lawyers in Las Vegas right away so we can preserve crucial evidence and start building your case immediately.
