Last updated on February 27, 2026
If you have been bitten by a dog in Albany, Georgia, you may believe that the dog’s owner was responsible for negligently allowing the attack to occur. This is often a premises liability issue. Perhaps the dog was not properly restrained, and an owner who knew they had a dangerous dog failed to take the necessary steps to protect the public.
That is when I can help at Patrick Flynn, Attorney at Law. I have more than 25 years of experience in personal injury law in Georgia. As an attorney, I can help you explore all of your legal options, gather evidence, assess all potential costs and represent you if the case leads to litigation. I put my clients first and fight for maximum compensation. I am a proven premises liability lawyer with numerous settlements exceeding $1 million.
What To Do After A Dog Bite
The first step after a dog bite is to seek medical attention immediately. If possible, you should also take photographs of your injuries and the scene where the bite occurred. Once you have received treatment—and medical records demonstrating your costs – then you can report the bite to animal control and begin to gather information about the dog and the owner. It is usually wise to avoid contact with the owner after the incident, and it may be the right time to contact an experienced attorney to learn more about what steps to take as you seek compensation.
Damages You Can Recover
Exactly why you need compensation depends on the details of your case, but it may cover:
- Past and future medical expenses
- Lost wages or a reduced earning capacity
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Pain and suffering
- Psychological trauma and emotional distress
Some dog bites can even be fatal, especially when involving children. In that case, you may need compensation for loss of consortium, lost future earnings, burial costs, funeral costs and much more.
