Dog Bite Claims

The majority of dog bites occur to children. If the dog has bitten or threatened someone in the past, which often is the case, the victim of the dog bite may have a claim against the owner of, or the person responsible for, the dog.

If you or a loved one is in need of legal assistance, call Shillen & Mackall at 802-457-4848 or use our online contact form. The initial consultation is free of charge, and if we agree to handle your case, we will work on a contingency fee basis, which means we get paid for our services only if there is a monetary recovery of funds. In many cases, a lawsuit must be filed before an applicable expiration date, known as a statute of limitations. Please call right away to ensure that you do not waive your right to possible compensation.
