When someone's dog attacks and injures you or your loved one, it can be an overwhelming emotional experience:
the shock of being attacked
the fear of major medical complications, infection, or death
the heartbreak of possible disfigurement for life
When you are faced with medical bills, lost wages, permanent injury, and psychological stress , you are still shaken but feel you need to act quickly, get a lawyer, and hold the owner accountable for the attack...
BUT WAIT! Before you sign any documents for the insurance company, hire an attorney or make a major mistake in your Iowa dog bite or animal attack case, you should educate yourself by requesting our iowa Doge Bite Book offered at No Cost.
The accident and injury attorneys at Walker, Billingsley and Bair have seen too many good cases damaged because Iowans don't know their rights and responsibilities in the case of a dog bite or dog attack. Simple but common mistakes can do a lot of damage to your case. That's why we believe all Iowans deserve to have the facts, even before they hire an attorney. Also, whether you hire us or not, our mission is to educate Iowans about Iowa's dog bite laws because we have seen firsthand how sometimes good people are treated badly by insurance companies. Did you know?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that dogs bite more than 4.7 million people every year, and that most of the victims seeking medical attention are children.
Iowa is a strict liability state. That means dogs don't get a free bite. If you are attacked or your loved one is bitten by a dog, the owner is liable for damages. Unlike other personal injury situations, you don't have to prove that the owner was reckless or negligent.
Iowa Code Section 351.28 says that the owner of a dog is "liable to an injured party for all damages done by the dog."
Iowa law entitles victims to recover several types of damages:

Notes:
Here are some cases that we have successfully resolved. Remember that each case is different. Once a case is in the hands of a judge, it is
out of our control. We have had cases in which we were pleasantly surprised by the verdict and others in which we were disappointed. We
do not win every case and sometimes we obtain a verdict which we are not able to collect the money owed from the defendant due to bankruptcy or other reasons. However, we do believe that significant trial experience and results are factors that people may use to choose one attorney over another. With these things in mind, here are some of our results which are the total amount received before the deduction of attorney fees and costs:
