talk to.
Tell us what happened. We’ll listen, explain the options, and help you understand the next step.
A clear place to begin.
Your circumstances come first
Medical care first. Clear guidance next.
Seek appropriate medical care after an animal bite or attack. Once immediate needs are addressed, Powers Law Group can review the circumstances and any available information about the animal and its owner or keeper.
Georgia animal-injury claims are fact-specific. Prior behavior, the owner’s knowledge, how the animal was controlled, and applicable local ordinances may matter. Liability is not automatic, and a prior bite is not the only fact worth investigating.

Clear answers. Personal guidance.
Let’s talk
through your questions.
These answers are a starting point. Your circumstances deserve an individual conversation.
Does a dog have to have bitten someone before?
A prior bite is not the only potentially relevant evidence. We review the animal’s history, the owner’s knowledge, control of the animal, and any applicable ordinance.
Does this page cover injuries to my pet?
This practice page concerns injuries to people. If your question concerns an injured pet or veterinary care, ask the firm whether it can assist or suggest another resource.
How soon should I ask about a claim?
Prompt review helps identify evidence and the deadlines that apply. Special rules may affect particular claims, including those involving a government entity. Do not assume the same deadline applies to every situation.
What does the consultation cost?
Your initial consultation is free. We can explain the fee agreement and how case expenses are handled before you decide whether to hire the firm.
