Get My Free Case ReviewFrequently Asked Questions
Do I need a lawyer if the dog’s owner is a friend or neighbor?
Most dog bite claims are paid through the owner’s homeowners or renters insurance, not their personal savings. Pursuing a claim is about holding the insurance policy accountable, not taking money from someone you know.
How much does it cost to get started?
Your initial case review is completely free. Attorneys in our network typically work on a contingency-fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless they recover compensation for you.
What if I’m not sure I even have a case?
That’s exactly what the free review is for. Answer a few questions and a licensed attorney will tell you honestly whether you have a viable claim — no pressure, no obligation.
How long do I have to file a claim?
Both North Carolina and South Carolina generally require dog bite lawsuits to be filed within three years of the incident. Acting sooner protects evidence and strengthens your case.
