If you or a loved one was bitten by a dog, it is likely that you sustained a serious injury. However, depending on the dog and the dog owner, you may not be sure if you are able to recover monetary compensation for any injuries that you sustained with a personal injury lawsuit. Because of this, it is invaluable to seek legal advice and representation from an experienced Maryland dog bite attorney to help you strategize about the best possible outcome for your situation.

Dog Bites in Maryland

In most states, the law that is generally followed in regards to dog bites is the one bite rule. Under this law, most dog owners are not held liable the first time their dog bites another person. However once a dog has bitten someone, then that dog is considered to have shown vicious behavior and from then on, the dog owner be held liable for future injuries caused by that dog.

In Maryland, an owner of a dog can be held liable if one of two things occur – the victim was on the the dog owner’s property lawfully and did not provoke the dog or if it can be proven that the owner knew or should have known of the dog’s vicious behavior. This is where our experienced dog bite attorneys can help you.

About seven years ago, I was injured at work and was referred to Lee Tuchman. He became more than a lawyer to me, he became a friend.  He helped me through a process that required long days, a lot of paperwork and phone calls.  Whenever I called his office, he always made time to talk with me. If you are looking for knowledge and perfection, you will find that in Mr. Tuchman. During those 7 years, he told me not to worry and I trusted him enough not too. If you ask my opinion, Lee Tuchman will work hard for you too.
