Testimonials & Case Results

  • CASE RESULT

    $235K From Dog Attack

    Our client, a young girl, was bitten in the face by the dog of her mother’s boyfriend. Initially, the insurer attempted to claim that our client had taunted the dog. After a thorough investigation Attorney Perrault determined that this was untrue. The bite left a pronounced scar on the cheek of our young client. Attorney Perrault retained a plastic surgeon to examine the scar. The plastic surgeon explained that the scar was permanent and provided options to “remediate” it when the child was older. Ultimately, the homeowner’s insurance company of the boyfriend paid $235,000 in compensation to the young girl.

  • TESTIMONIAL

    In regards to a potential personal injury case it was very refreshing to actually find someone that took the time to explain the process to me. Three other law firm’s wouldn’t take the time to explain to me just told me it wasn’t worth their time!!! It’s nice to know that there are still professionals out there that actually do their job to help people not just for the end result $$ . I hope to be working with attorney Perrault in the future but if not I highly recommend that at least others check into them to see what they can offer you, EXCELLENT customer service!

Children In Dog Bite Attacks

Unfortunately, children are often victims of dog bites as they are curious and unaware of the dangers of approaching a strange dog. However, dog owners must take liability for their negligent actions regarding their animals’ care and control. In addition to the physical ailments caused by an animal attack, an injured child may suffer emotional trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Strict Liability In Dog Bite Law

Dog bite cases are generally strict liability cases, meaning that an owner of a pet may be automatically liable for any injuries caused by his or her pet. If you or a loved one has suffered, it is imperative to seek out legal assistance as soon as possible.
