Dog Bite Injuries in Las Vegas: Protecting Victims and Their Rights

Dog attacks can happen suddenly and without warning, leaving victims with painful injuries, emotional trauma, and lasting medical complications. In many cases, these incidents are entirely preventable. When a dog owner fails to properly control or supervise their animal, innocent people can suffer serious harm.

At The Walsh Firm, Ltd., we represent victims of dog bites and animal attacks throughout Las Vegas and Clark County. Led by personal injury attorney Robert J. Walsh, our firm is committed to holding negligent dog owners accountable and helping injured individuals pursue the compensation they need to recover and rebuild their lives.

If you or a loved one has been bitten or attacked by a dog, you don’t have to navigate the legal process alone.


Why You Need a Dog Bite Attorney

Dog bite claims involve more than just proving an injury occurred. Liability often depends on specific facts, local ordinances, and Nevada injury law standards. Insurance companies frequently attempt to minimize claims by shifting blame to the victim or downplaying the seriousness of injuries.

When you work with The Walsh Firm, Ltd., we will:

  • Investigate the circumstances surrounding the attack
  • Determine legal responsibility and insurance coverage
  • Collect medical records and supporting evidence
  • Handle all communication with insurers and opposing parties
  • Accurately calculate the full value of your damages
  • Prepare your case for litigation if fair compensation is not offered

Our goal is to protect your rights and prevent insurers from undervaluing your claim.


Common Causes of Dog Bite Incidents

Dog attacks often result from preventable situations, including:

  • Failure to leash or restrain a dog in public areas
  • Improper fencing or unsecured property
  • Negligent supervision of aggressive or territorial animals
  • Ignoring known behavioral issues
  • Allowing dangerous dogs around children or vulnerable individuals

These incidents can occur in neighborhoods, apartment complexes, parks, businesses, and even inside private homes.


Injuries Commonly Caused by Dog Attacks

Dog bites can cause far more than surface wounds. Many victims suffer from:

  • Deep lacerations and puncture wounds
  • Nerve damage
  • Infections and scarring
  • Facial injuries and disfigurement
  • Psychological trauma and fear disorders
  • Permanent physical impairment

Children are especially vulnerable and often suffer the most severe long-term effects.


Compensation That May Be Available

Victims of dog attacks in Las Vegas may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Emergency medical treatment and hospital care
  • Ongoing medical expenses and rehabilitation
  • Plastic or reconstructive surgery
  • Lost income and reduced earning ability
  • Pain and suffering
  • Emotional distress and psychological trauma
  • Permanent scarring or disability

We assess both the immediate and long-term impact of your injuries to pursue full and fair compensation—not quick, inadequate settlements.
