It is wise to seek the counsel of a knowledgeable attorney who can help you ensure your future financial compensation.
The Nashville dog bite attorneys at Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge understand that an animal attack can be jarring both physically and emotionally. Dangerous breeds or large animals can cause devastating, lifelong injuries to adults and children alike.

Examining the Consequences of Animal Attacks
For the past 30 years, the team at Kinnard, Clayton & Beveridge has been representing clients who have suffered the consequences of vicious dog bites and animal attacks, including:
- Significant scarring
- Serious infection
- Multiple plastic surgeries
- Substantial medical expenses
- Disfigurement
- Torn muscle
These serious injuries can lead to lifelong scarring, both physically and psychologically.
Taking the Right Steps After Suffering a Dog Bite Injury
Because of their trusting and playful nature, children are especially vulnerable to dog bites. Our attorney team is knowledgeable about Tennessee's dog bite legislation. We can examine the facts of your situation and properly advise you regarding your case and the challenges you might face through litigation. You can trust us to help you make the right decision after a serious animal attack.
It is not uncommon for individuals to be bitten by a dog and immediately wish to file a lawsuit. These decisions can be fueled by anger or frustration. In many circumstances, the injury itself might be superficial and could better be handled through negotiation with the dog's owner. Whatever the case may be, it is important that you discuss your options with an attorney before taking action.
