When Animals Attack, We Step In

Dog Bites

Dog attacks can leave more than scars—they leave trauma, medical bills, lost time from work, and long recovery periods. At Latham Law Group, our personal injury attorneys represent victims of dog bites across Metro Detroit, including Southfield, Birmingham, Farmington Hills, and Royal Oak.



Michigan law protects your right to seek compensation for dog bite injuries, even if the attack happened at a friend’s home or a public park. Our job is to make sure you get the justice—and the financial recovery—you deserve.

Why Dog Bite Cases Matter


Even a single bite can cause severe injuries, especially in children or older adults. Victims often hesitate to contact a dog bite lawyer—particularly when they know the pet owner personally. But legal action isn’t about personal conflict—it’s about accountability, safety, and healing.


When you hire a personal injury attorney, you gain an advocate who understands Michigan law and fights for your full recovery.


Our Legal Approach


We move quickly to gather medical records, secure witness statements, and investigate both the property and any relevant animal control history. Using Michigan’s strict liability laws, we build a compelling case to prove the dog owner’s responsibility. Whether the attack occurred on a neighborhood sidewalk or in a public park, our goal is to protect your rights and help you move forward with strength.

What We Cover

Child Dog Bite Cases

Children are especially vulnerable to dog attacks—both physically and emotionally. We pursue full compensation for medical treatment, therapy, scarring, and long-term trauma. We also work to ensure the dog’s owner is held fully accountable for their failure to control a dangerous animal.

Facial & Hand Injuries

Hands and faces are common targets in dog attacks, often leading to disfigurement or loss of mobility. We fight for compensation that reflects the personal and professional impact of these highly visible, life-altering injuries.

Unprovoked Attacks on Private Property

Whether you were visiting a friend’s home or walking past a neighbor’s yard, you have a right to safety. If a dog attacked without warning or prior behavior, we’ll use Michigan’s strict liability laws to hold the owner accountable—regardless of excuses.

Public Park & Leash Law Violations

Dog owners have a legal duty to leash and control their animals in public. If you were attacked at a park, sidewalk, or community space, we document the failure to control the dog and press for fair compensation.

Infection & Long-Term Medical Care

Dog bites often lead to infections, nerve damage, and multiple rounds of medical care. We seek compensation not just for ER visits but for antibiotics, nerve repair, plastic surgery, and any lasting disability.
