Salt Lake City Dog Bite Lawyer

Bitten by a dog in Salt Lake City? Our dog bite lawyers help victims get compensation for injuries, medical bills, and emotional trauma. Utah law holds owners strictly liable — we make sure they’re held accountable.

Understanding the Dangers of Dog Bites

Dog bites happen more often than people realize, usually because of an owner’s negligence. These attacks can cause serious physical injuries and emotional trauma. Whether the dog is large or small, any bite that breaks the skin can lead to dangerous infections or long-term complications.

In Utah, it’s critical to seek immediate medical attention after a dog bite. Bacteria from a bite can cause severe infections, and some dogs may carry rabies or other diseases. Prompt treatment also helps document your injuries for a future legal claim.

Common Medical Concerns After a Dog Attack

  • Rabies exposure and mandatory quarantine of the animal
  • Severe infections from bacteria introduced through the bite
  • Tetanus risk if vaccinations are not current
  • Soft tissue damage, nerve injury, or torn ligaments
  • Permanent scarring or limited mobility

Some victims suffer permanent damage if the bite severs tendons or affects muscles. Even small wounds can worsen without proper care. That’s why it’s vital to speak with a Salt Lake City dog bite lawyer early — both for your health and your legal protection.

“Unbelievable work!”

"I had a claim involving my own insurance company. I tried to negotiate with them, and they completely denied my claim – two times. I then hired Strong Law, and the change was instant. The insurance company immediately began negotiating, and Jed was able to secure an unbelievably good settlement. I will never again attempt to take-on an insurance company without Strong Law in my corner. Thank you!"

FAQs About Dog Bite Claims in Salt Lake City

What injuries are most common after a dog bite?

  • Puncture wounds
  • Soft tissue injuries
  • Broken bones or fractures
  • Facial trauma or eye injuries
  • Infections, including rabies and tetanus

Is the dog owner automatically responsible?

Yes. Utah follows a strict liability law under Utah Code § 18-1-1, meaning the owner is liable for injuries their dog causes — even without prior warnings or aggression.

What if the dog didn’t bite but caused another injury?

Dog owners can also be held liable for non-bite injuries, such as when a dog knocks someone over or causes a crash while chasing a cyclist. We often link these cases to personal injury claims to ensure full compensation.

Can I sue for emotional trauma?

Yes. A legal claim can include damages for emotional distress, especially if the bite led to PTSD, anxiety, or visible scarring.

How much does a dog bite case cost?

We work on a contingency fee basis — you pay nothing unless we win your case. Your potential recovery may include medical bills, lost income, future care, and more. For severe injuries, we may also explore catastrophic injury damages.

How do I report a dog bite in Salt Lake County?

Report bites to Salt Lake County Animal Services. This helps document the incident and triggers a rabies assessment. Documentation is key to supporting your claim.
