What callers say
Four short accounts from callers who were matched with an attorney.
★★★★★
Called at 2am after an accident. Within a few minutes I was talking to a real attorney in my area. They took my case the next morning.
★★★★★
The insurance company was lowballing me. The attorney they matched me with took over and I ended up with far more than the first offer.
★★★★★
I didn’t know where to start. The team on the phone walked me through what to do next and got me connected to an attorney the same day.
★★★★★
Straightforward process. I was surprised an actual attorney called me back within an hour of my first call.
Questions
Dog bite questions
Insurance, liability, and the steps to take after a bite.
Whose insurance covers a dog bite?
Usually the dog owner’s homeowners or renters insurance. Some policies exclude certain breeds — an attorney will review coverage.
The owner is a friend. Can I still make a claim?
Yes. The claim is against their insurance, not against them personally. Many people in this situation pursue a claim — nobody has to go without medical care.
What should I do right after a bite?
Get medical care — bites can carry infection. Report it to animal control. Photograph the wound. Get the owner’s insurance and contact information. Then call an attorney.
