Choosing Your Dog Bite Attorney In New Jersey

The state of New Jersey has many experienced and skilled personal injury attorneys but not all of them handle as effectively dog bite cases as a dog bite attorney like David Cowhey who specializes in dog bite litigation. If you have been bitten by a dog, you need an attorney who understands the intricacies of representing your rights and helping you maximize your chances of recovering the compensation you deserve after your attack.

Choose a Dog Bite Lawyer with Experience

Not all states have the same bite laws, consequently you should choose a dog bite attorney with extensive experience with the particular laws of New Jersey and the attitude of the courts regarding such civil suit cases. David Cowhey is a proven skilled litigator with over 30 years experience – more than 20 of those specializing in dog bites. He will provide you with effective representation in both the courtroom and at the negotiating table. Because he is an experienced dog bite lawyer, it also means that he is acquainted with the most common defence strategies used by insurance companies and their attorneys. Therefore, as a dog bite victim, you will have someone supporting you who is skilled at tearing down their defences.

 

Furthermore, an experienced dog bite lawyer can examine, evaluate and present your injuries, damages, and pain and suffering in a manner that will increase your chances of receiving the best settlement. On the other hand, personal injury attorneys who do not specialize in dog bites may not have the experience to consider all the damages you suffered from the dog attack. It is not only pain and/or disabilities that result from dog attacks. Many victims can also suffer anxiety, depression and even post-traumatic stress disorder since being attacked by a dog can be quite traumatic. Naturally, these conditions can impact your way of life in the long-term, hence you must choose a dog bite lawyer who can argue your case with confidence.

Previous Results and Settlements are Important

Another important consideration is the results of a dog bite lawyer’s previous cases since this is a good indication of how skilled he/she may be. The New Jersey dog bite lawyer, David Cowhey, has a proven track record for obtaining significant recoveries for his clients. He has the experience and skill to evaluate your situation and fight for your rights as a dog bite victim without being intimidated by big insurance companies. This means that you will not be short-changed and will receive the compensation you deserve. 

 

For several decades, New Jersey’s dog bite lawyer has built up an impressive track record of successfully representing clients after serious dog attacks. It’s vital that you choose a dedicated dog bite attorney who focuses only on dog attacks since the possibilities for a fair settlement will be much greater.

Provides Each Client with Personal Attention

The New Jersey dog bite attorney, David Cowhey handles every case personally since he is the only attorney in his law office. Consequently, unlike many large law firms, which might have junior associates deal with a large part of your case, he deals with every detail himself, providing each client the full attention of a seasoned dog bite attorney who knows how to negotiate and fight for you in court. 

 

It’s true that there are no guarantees about the specific results you should be expecting. However, it cannot be denied that being represented by an experienced and savvy attorney with a proven track record greatly increases the possibility that the case will be settled in your favor.

Accepts Cases on a Contingency Fee Basis

An experienced and skilled dog bite lawyer should work on a contingency fee basis. If your case is accepted by an attorney on contingency, you will not incur any fees if there is no settlement in your favor. As a result, you should be confident that when David Cowhey agrees to handle your dog bite case, you will most likely have positive results.

Nieja M,

My entire experience with Dave and his team was 5 stars. They specialize in one thing, and this experience taught me why you want an attorney who specializes. Dave's knowledge, experience, and confidence is what made things go smoothly and quickly. Professional and quick responses always. If someone was bitten by a dog I recommend this guy, he will get you what you deserve.

Morgan K.

My wife got bit by a dog last spring; she immediately received medical care and we made a police report- all within 2 hours. Shortly thereafter, we decided to choose Attorney David to represent her. He walked us through the process. It is much more comfortable knowing that his practice only involves dog bites. He knows his stuff! We have just received notice that a fair settlement has been reached. If you have been bitten by a dog, my wife and I would highly recommend David Cowhey for an attorney. Thank you to David and his professional staff!

David D.

My 8 year old son was bitten by a neighborhood dog, leaving permanent scars on his abdomen. I immediately contacted David Cowhey. He explained the process very clearly and made it very easy for us to come to a fair settlement for my son. He was a perfect advocate for us, and he is very compassionate for the victim. We are very pleased with the hard work David has done for our son.

Stephanie D.

Lawyer Dave Cowhey (& his office) helped my wife, son and me immensely over the past 15 months. He is tremendously professional, responsive and proactive, as well as being, a great attorney. Thanks to Dave, we are now able to put our 'incident' behind us. I highly recommend his services - he will work hard and long for you to get you the settlement you deserve.

Seth K G

My experience with Dave and his law firm was wonderful. While I was nervous to start the process of something that I knew nothing about, he was extremely helpful and explained everything clearly and concisely. He answered all of my questions - day or night, weekday or weekend, and made sure I was comfortable at each step. I would highly recommend Dave and his firm!

Ariella L.

I absolutely loved my entire time of working with with Dave. He always kept my best interest in mind and made sure that I was taking care of. He was amazing at communicating all steps in the process with me, and never hesitated to answer any of my questions. Would highly recommend!

Amanda G.

Dave was extremely responsive and guided me thru the process with compassion. His specialization in dog bites really helped facilitate the process. He knows all the insurance issues and, despite the backlog of cases due to Covid, was able to settle my claim for more than we anticipated as well as earlier. I would definitely recommend Dave as I felt comfortable that I was getting the best advice every step of the way!

Kristen J.

Dave did extremely well by me and my family. He was nothing short of professional and assisted us through the entire process. I called him the day of the dog bite, and I followed his instructions to the "T". Him, and his staff, were knowledgeable on every step of the process. From medical advise, to advise on setting up our structured settlement for our child. If you need help right away, don't wait.... call him asap!!!

William W.

Dave was amazing, he handled my case with care , answered every question , email and helped me to understand the steps we needed to take. I had never dealt with a lawsuit before so of course I was nervous and thought I was going to get ripped off but nope. He was very professional and attentive. Hope I never need him again but should I ever need a lawyer for a dog bite i'm calling him first!

Neyia W.

Dave Cowhey was amazing during our case which was very personal in the sense that involved family members. He was candid and professional and always gave us his honest opinion to all our questions and concerns. He's a family man and understands how upsetting the situations are at hand. I wish he was a lawyer for everything honestly, he was fantastic! Highly recommended Dave and his team.

Courtney R.

My one year old dog and I were viciously attacked by a pit bull. I didn’t want to file a law suit initially until I realized the severity of the injuries both mentally and physically. Most lawyers are all about the money not for the justice and compassion of the victim. I am blessed to have found David. He was our hero who understood our situation was efficient knowledgeable and above all sincerely compassionate

Karol M.

Dave was hands on and always available. Steered me through the entire process and helped cover my medical costs and compensation for my scar and injury. Went over and Beyond and made me feel at ease and confident in a positive outcome. Would recommend to all.

COACH B

Honest, fast, responsive and professional. Great experience working with Mr. Cowhey and I highly recommend to handle any dog bite case.

Lilian P.

We contacted Dave when our 5 year old son was attacked by our neighbor's dog, resulting in deep wounds (and now scars) on his face and arm. Dave was extremely knowledgeable/helpful from the start, explaining how everything would work, and he was always available via phone/text if we had questions come up throughout the process. He always gave us all of the options/routes we could take and let us decide what was the best move for our family. He advocated for the best outcome for our son and always kept us in the loop. We were able to settle in a friendly hearing with the homeowner-insurance company, which was simple and straightforward, thanks to all of Dave's hard work behind-the-scenes. We definitely could not have navigated this process ourselves and we are very thankful for the help of Dave and his team!
