When the Law Offices of Howard Kitay represent a dog bite victim, we are fully prepared to take the case to trial. The great majority of personal injury cases – including dog bites – however, are settled prior to going to court. This is especially so if the dog owner’s insurance policy covers dog bites, which is normally the case.
