Wisconsin Dog Bite Law and How It Protects You

Wisconsin law holds dog owners strictly responsible for injuries their animal causes. Victims do not need to prove a prior bite or aggression. A single bite is enough to establish liability.

Double Damages for Repeat Offenses

If a dog previously bit someone or showed aggression and attacks again, Wisconsin law allows victims to seek double damages. This covers medical costs, lost wages, pain, and suffering.

Common Injuries from Dog Bites

• Deep puncture wounds and torn skin requiring stitches
• Infections such as cellulitis or rabies exposure
• Nerve damage causing numbness or limited mobility
• Facial injuries requiring reconstructive surgery
• Scarring and disfigurement
• Emotional trauma including fear, anxiety, and post traumatic stress

Children often suffer the most serious injuries because they are more likely to be bitten on the face, head, and arms. Recovery from both physical and emotional trauma can take years.

Where Dog Bites Happen in Waukesha

Dog attacks happen in a variety of locations across Waukesha:

• Residential neighborhoods where pets escape yards or are not restrained
• Public parks and trails like Minooka Park and Frame Park
• Apartment complexes where management fails to enforce leash rules
• Sidewalks and driveways where dogs are left unleashed
• Public events where dogs are not properly controlled

We investigate thoroughly to gather evidence showing how the attack occurred and how the owner failed to prevent it.

Compensation You May Recover in a Dog Bite Claim

• Medical costs including emergency care, surgeries, and therapy
• Future medical expenses for plastic surgery or scar revisions
• Lost wages from time missed at work due to injuries
• Pain and suffering for physical pain and emotional distress
• Permanent scarring and disfigurement
• Emotional trauma and counseling costs
• Loss of enjoyment of activities impacted by the injury
