Dogs are said to be man’s best friend—but when a dog bites, it can cause us some serious problems. Dogs’ mouths carry bacteria, which can cause disease. Sadly, the violent nature of dog bites can also leave you with severe, disfiguring injuries.

Although millions of Americans suffer dog bites each year, not all of them move quickly to protect their rights. But with the help of a Wyoming dog bite lawyer with Craig Swapp & Associates, we can fight for you to receive the compensation you deserve through a Wyoming personal injury claim .

What to Do After a Dog Bite

After a dog bite , the most important thing to do is make sure that you are safe.

For grave wounds, heading to the emergency room as soon as possible is your best bet. For lesser wounds, start with applying warm, soapy water to your injuries.

If you are bleeding severely, make sure to apply pressure to the wound. But even if you feel your wounds aren’t too serious on the outside, dog bites can also lead to other complications, including diseases like rabies .

For that reason, it’s always recommended you visit your doctor to ensure that you’re up to date on your vaccinations and that your wound isn’t infected.

After attending to your health, make sure to call an experienced dog bite lawyer for help getting compensated for your various economic and non-economic damages, such as:

Dog Bite Law in Wyoming

Some states have rules stating a dog owner needs to have been aware of their dog’s aggressive behavior in the past in order to be held liable for your damages after a dog bite.

These states, also referred to as one-bite-law states, afford a measure of security to dog owners by insulating them from the impact of litigation for one-off dog bite events.

In Wyoming , however, no such law exists. In fact, if you’ve been bitten by someone else’s dog, you can immediately file a personal injury claim against the at-fault party in order to recover financial compensation.

Dog bite settlements are often paid out by the homeowner’s insurance company that represents the at-fault party, so you shouldn’t be worried about potentially bankrupting your friend, neighbor, or family member over a dog bite lawsuit.

One aspect of the law to be cognizant of is the statute of limitations on personal injury recovery in Wyoming. This statute holds that, generally, you have two years from the date of your accident to file a claim to recover damages.

You can avoid the negative impacts of the statute of limitations by reaching out to an experienced dog bite lawyer ASAP.

Client Reviews

“I was concerned with all the paperwork”

Before calling your firm I had 2 big worries. One was I didn’t want to do more paper work, and that fear was resolved when I had to do very little, but Craig Swapp and Assoc. did most of it, and when I did have to come in to sign papers they worked around the times I could do it. Worry 2 was I didn’t want people to think I was “sue happy” and that I was just out to get money. I just wanted my bills to be paid for that were from the accident, and that was resolved I think by Mr. Wes Mortenson and Theresa because they listened to what I had to say.

"I would hire them in a second"

My biggest fear was not having all the expenses caused by the accident paid for in full. I was assured they would be taken care of but I admit I was skeptical. When we wrapped everything up (which happened quicker than I was originally told) I had extra money in my pocket. I honestly thought there was a catch but my attorney explained everything to me in detail. If I am ever in that position again I’ll be giving Craig Swapp a call.

"I was afraid of the fees"

I was afraid of the fees I would have to pay a lawyer. I waited over a year before hiring your law firm. I finally reached out to your online help where they were able to help me understand the process and what would happen. In all honesty I absolutely loved working with the individuals that were involved in my case. They were genuine & heartfelt about my case. It felt as though they really cared and were concerned about me, not just as a client but as a person.

"I was afraid that my issue was too small"

I was afraid that my issue was too small to be handled, and that it would just be rejected. Or that I’d end up having to pay for my medical expenses and any of your teams expenses. I would definitely answer yes, it was resolved! I wasn’t ever made out to feel like my little issue didn’t matter, and my expenses were paid for- just what I wanted/needed.

"I am very pleased with the results"

My biggest fear was that it would be pointless to pursue legal action in my case. I felt like maybe I didn’t have much of a case. After speaking with Paul, I realize it was not of my own fault and that others can be held responsible for the pain and suffering I went through.
