Understanding Dog Attack Injuries

Dog bite injuries can be severe and even fatal, depending on the dog’s size and the victim’s age, personal health, and other factors. Some of the injuries you may face after a dog attack include, but are not limited to:

N

Puncture wounds and skin lacerations

N

Head, neck, and face injuries

N

Broken bones/fractures

N

Eye injuries

N

Traumatic brain injuries

N

Internal bleeding or hemorrhaging

In the most extreme cases, dog attacks can lead to catastrophic injuries such as permanent disfigurement, neurological damage, or even loss of life.

Nebraska is not a “one-bite” state, meaning that owners can be held liable for injuries caused by their dogs, even if there is no proof of negligence or prior knowledge of the dog’s aggressiveness. If you’ve suffered a dog bite injury or other harm caused by a dog, Dyer Law is here to fight for the compensation you deserve.

If your dog was involved, a lawyer can help you navigate Nebraska’s dog bite laws, defend against claims, and help minimize legal consequences.

    What Should I Do After a Dog Bite Incident?

    Will I Receive Compensation for a Dog Bite Injury?

    If the dog owner is found liable, you may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any lasting effects of the injury. Nebraska follows a strict liability rule, meaning owners are typically responsible even if the dog has no history of aggression. Dog bite settlements in Nebraska can vary widely, but more serious cases involving permanent injury, scarring, or long-term medical care often result in higher compensation. How much money you can receive from a dog bite case depends on the severity of your injury and its impact on your life. At Dyer Law, we do everything to get you fair compensation.

    Are There Exceptions to the Nebraska Strict Liability Dog Bite Statute?

    Yes, there are exceptions to Nebraska’s strict liability dog bite statute—trespassing, if the dog is an active-duty animal (e.g., police or military), and if the injured victim provoked the dog. Our experienced lawyers can help you understand when these exceptions are applicable.
