Proving Liability for Kansas City Dog Bites

The strategy for pursuing your case against the owner of the dog that bit you will be different depending on which state the attack occurred in. If you were injured in Missouri, the owner can be held strictly liable for the dog's actions, while for attacks occurring in Kansas, it is necessary to prove that the owner was aware that the dog had a vicious nature and is responsible for causing your injury through negligence. In either situation, we will work to gather all the evidence necessary to prove your claim and to maximize the amount you receive for your medical expenses, your lost income and pain and suffering.
