We’re Here to Help—Let’s Discuss Your Case
Dog attacks can cause serious injuries, permanent scars, and lasting trauma. New Jersey law holds dog owners strictly liable when their pets bite or attack, regardless of prior behavior. Schibell Law represents children, adults, and families injured in these incidents,fighting for the medical care, compensation, and justice they deserve.
Our attorneys investigate every dog bite claim, gather medical evidence, and pursue the maximum recovery under New Jersey law.
We also work closely with medical providers and specialists to document scarring, nerve damage, and psychological harm—key elements in securing full compensation.
When you contact us, we begin a disciplined process designed to protect your rights:
Assess where and how the bite occurred, and confirm ownership responsibility.
Secure medical records, witness accounts, photographs, and animal control reports.
Negotiate from strength with insurers or bring your case to court if needed.
Provide clear updates so you always know where your case stands.
Our experience with dog bite claims helps us identify liability issues, insurance coverage disputes,
and long-term impacts such as disfigurement or trauma.
