A person who suffers a serious
injury in a slip - and - fall accident should take quick
action to consult an independent
personal injury attorney who can help the
injury victim preserve evidence, secure top - quality medical care and present a thoroughly researched settlement demand to the responsible property
owner.
In cases of an animal or dog bite, the
owner of the dog is fully responsible by default for the dog's
actions, and if they are a homeowner, compensation will most likely be paid out of their insurance after a
personal injury claim.

In an
action against an
owner of a dog for damages for
personal injury or death caused by the dog, evidence that the dog caused the
personal injury or death creates a rebuttable presumption that the
owner knew or should have known that the dog had vicious or dangerous propensities.
