Support After A Dangerous Animal Causes Harm

At the Law Office of Cary S. Macy, we help individuals and families recover the compensation they need after an animal attack. Whether the injury happened at someone’s home, in a public space, or on private property, we’re here to help you understand your rights and hold the responsible party accountable.

Injuries from an animal attack can have a long-term impact on your life—physically, financially, and emotionally. Here's where to begin:
1
Seek Immediate Medical Attention.
Seek immediate medical attention, even if the wound seems minor—bites can lead to infection.
2
Report the Incident.
Report the incident to local animal control or law enforcement.
3
Take Photos Of The Scene, Drivers License & Insurance Info.
Take photos of your injuries, the location, and the animal (if safe to do so).
4
Gather Information From The Owner.
Collect contact information for the animal’s owner and any witnesses.
5
Do Not Give A Statement To The Owners' Insurance Company
Avoid speaking to the pet owner’s insurance company without legal representation.
