Dog Bites

Dog Bites

Dogs may be man’s best friend, but that doesn’t mean every dog is your best friend, or that accidents never happen.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that as many as 4.5 million dog bites occur in America each year. Dog bites are common, and each bite is different. But whether a bite is “no big deal” or potentially life changing depends on the dog, its health, your health, the location of the bite, whether the dog was leashed, and other factors.

“The Jim Rochford & Associates law firm was extremely helpful in resolving a very difficult and sensitive situation in a federal lawsuit against a school. Tim Cushing served as the lead attorney, and worked closely with Jim Rochford. Attorney Nick Rochford also provided very valuable counsel. On a personal level, they were responsive and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. They were also patient, always available to answer questions, and provided objective legal advice that I knew I could trust. Their attention to detail and knowledge of laws are unsurpassed. In addition, the firm has highly professional and helpful support staff, including Deb Rochford and Mary Thomas, and a network of specialized experts that they collaborate with to provide comprehensive legal solutions. After working with this law firm, I strongly recommend them to anyone needing an extremely responsive law firm that will work tirelessly to protect their clients’ interests. They are highly respected in the legal community, and I would trust them with any legal situation – personal or business.”
