Dog bites cause serious physical and psychological harm. Victims may face high medical bills, lasting scars, and deep distress. If you or someone you love has been hurt in a dog attack in Wisconsin, you deserve experienced legal help.
At Pemberton Personal Injury Law Firm, our dog bite lawyers are here to protect your rights. Our Wisconsin premises liability lawyers work to hold negligent dog owners responsible for their actions. Your journey to recovery matters, and our attorneys support you throughout the claim process.
Wisconsin operates under a “strict liability” law when it comes to dog bites. This means the law holds dog owners legally responsible if their dog injures someone. That is the case regardless of whether the dog had shown prior aggression.
According to Wisconsin Statute §174.02, a dog owner is liable for the full amount of damages caused by their dog. Additionally, If the owner knew the dog had previously caused injury or acted aggressively, the law doubles the potential damages.
This statute protects victims by ensuring that owners take responsibility for their pets. However, navigating these laws can be complex. That’s why it’s crucial to have an experienced Wisconsin dog bite attorney on your side to guide you through the legal process.
Pemberton Personal Injury Law Firm has a proven track record of securing favorable outcomes for dog bite victims across Wisconsin. We take pride in providing compassionate, results-driven representation.
Here’s what sets us apart:
Dog attacks can cause a wide range of injuries, from minor scratches to life-altering trauma. Some common injuries include:

Life following a serious injury can bring intense emotions and pain.
