Dog BitesAnchorage, Alaska Dog Bite LawyerInjuries from Dog Bites and Animal AttacksChildren are especially vulnerable to dog bites, being small, trusting and naturally attracted to animals. They also suffer the worst injuries, particularly bites on the face and arms. Dog owners who have not taken the necessary steps to restrain or supervise their pets may be responsible for personal injury if the dog bites or attacks an innocent child or adult. The Law Office of Gregory J. Grebe in Anchorage has represented clients throughout Alaska in litigation over dog attacks. My more than 30 years of experience in personal injury has helped recover full compensation for serious injuries and physical and emotional scars that can last a lifetime.

Alaska Dog Bite LawAnchorage and most communities have a leash law. If a dog is running loose and attacks, the owner is almost always liable for injuries, even if the animal never bit anyone before. If the dog was tied up and had no known propensity for viciousness, it is more difficult to collect damages. I worked on a case (Alaska Village, Inc. v. Smalley) involving a young girl whose cheek and part of her nose were ripped off in a horrific mauling by a neighbor's dog. A jury verdict of $785,000 for damages against owners of the trailer court was upheld by the Alaska Supreme Court because the owners did not enforce their own rule against vicious dogs. In a recent case, I successfully filed a claim against a homeowner for the plastic surgery and trauma incurred by a girl who was savagely bitten on the arm. The large dog was known to run loose and intimidate people on many prior occasions. If you or your child suffered a dog bite, let me determine if you have a case.
