Common Consequences of Dog Attacks

Dog bites can lead to more than just physical wounds—they often leave lasting emotional and financial impacts. Some of the most common effects include:
  • Fractured or broken bones
  • Permanent disfigurement
  • Emotional distress
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Visible scarring
If your dog bite injuries were worsened by a failure in medical care during treatment, our team also handles medical malpractice claims to ensure total accountability. Treating these injuries often requires extensive medical care and therapy, which can place a heavy financial burden on victims and their families. You shouldn’t have to bear those costs alone. Use our online form to schedule your free initial consultation with The Cornwell Firm.

Special Considerations to
Children and Dog Bite Injuries

Children are disproportionately affected by dog attacks and face unique legal protections under Georgia law. Courts recognize that children cannot be expected to understand dog behavior or avoid dangerous situations the same way adults can.

This means the comparative negligence defense used against adults is often ineffective when the victim is a child. Additionally, children's cases have extended statutes of limitations, allowing lawsuits to be filed until the child reaches age 20 in some circumstances.

Medical expenses for treating childhood dog bite injuries can be enormous, especially when reconstructive surgery is needed as the child grows. Our experienced attorneys ensure that settlements account for future medical needs and the psychological trauma that often accompanies these attacks.

The Cornwell Firm is a great group of professionals, top to bottom. The firm handled a matter for me, and obtained an excellent result on my behalf. The staff was attentive to every detail of the matter, following up and taking care of all issues -- even things I had not considered. Equally important, the attorney and staff checked in on me frequently to see how I was doing and keeping me up-to-date on things. Finally, the lawyering in this case was top-notch. Mr. Cornwell blends a bright legal mind with practical common-sense actions that get results -- great results. I cannot say enough great things about this firm or my experience, but in conclusion -- if you have a legal matter, this firm should be one of the first places you call.

I am grateful to have had Mr.Cornwell and Mr.Davidson as my lawyers. They were honest and did everything that they said that they would do. They told me from the start that they were going to seek full policy limit, and they got it. I will admit that I had doubts and questioned why would the insurance company treat them any different. At different times, each told me the insurance company know that they are willing to take cases to trial. They were very patient with me and my “what if” questions. They won my complete trust when I was on a call with the both of them and one of them said “we work for you,if you are not satisfied with the settlement offer that they (insurance company) will make and you want to go to trial, we will go to trial”. Cornwell and Davidson are actually good guys, the heroes you need in a bad situation. Brian and Ben got me five times the amount that my previous slime ball attorney was trying to get me to settle for. There isn’t any amount that is worth feeling miserable daily and battling pain, but at least Brian and Ben care about getting the insurance company to pay what they owe. Finding them was like finding a needle in a haystack. I have gone half my life and have not ever met,found or heard of personal injury attorneys like them. I doubt that I will again. Thank you again.

I had wasted over 5 years with another firm without any significant results. I fired the previous firm and within 18 months The Cornwell Firm completed my case with higher than expected results for me and my family. The previous firm had wasted years of my time and caused me a great deal of stress. I highly recommend The Cornwell firm.

Never having gone through anything like this before, I had no idea about what to do or if anything could be done to hold someone accountable for what I considered their carelessness. My husband & I want to give a huge “shout out” of thanks to Mr. Brian, Brooke, Randall, April & the whole Cornwell Firm for all the phone calls & guidance through the last 2 years. You have no idea what it has meant to me. Y’all are great!

I was fortunate enough to have Ben Davidson at the Cornwell Law Firm on my side during a recent personal injury case, and I’m beyond grateful that I did. From start to finish, he was everything you’d want in a lawyer – sharp, responsive, and truly dedicated to achieving the best possible outcome. What stood out most was Ben’s personal approach. He and his team were incredibly attentive and professional, taking the time to explain each step of the process, always making me feel heard, and fighting hard to ensure I was treated fairly. They brought a sense of calm and confidence to an otherwise stressful situation, and Ben’s experience and expertise showed at every turn. Throughout it all, it was clear that he genuinely cared – my health and well-being were always the top priority, and he made sure I received the treatment I needed and was comfortable with. If you're looking for a personal injury lawyer in Georgia, I can’t recommend Ben highly enough. I couldn’t have asked for better representation. You won’t find a more capable or compassionate advocate. Thanks again, Ben – you truly made a difference.
