Mr. Ranzenhofer and his attorneys were great! My case was handled quickly and I got a great result – $300,000. I fell at my doctor’s office, so I knew it was a hard case. Mr. Ranzenhofer developed a strategy that got me a great result. I highly recommend Mr. Ranzenhofer and his team of attorneys.

I feel I was treated great. Mr. Ranzenhofer responded quickly with call backs and any questions, there were never any doubts of where my case was and he was always reassuring that being patient was the answer. And it was. I want to thank him and his legal team especially with the office personnel always friendly and also quick responses when messages were left. Highly recommended. Thanks for everything

Dog bites injure hundreds of thousands of people every year. Dog bite injuries cause more than physical pain; many of the attacks can result in facial disfigurement and long lasting fears of dogs or other animals. Small children account for about 75% of all dog bites. Every year about 15 people die from being bitten by a dog. While some dogs have the reputation of being more violent than others, there are a lot of other dog breeds capable of inflicting serious our fatal injuries to people. As experienced Rochester dog bite injury lawyers, we unfortunately see many cases where victims end up with severe injuries as a result of being bit by a dog.
If you have been bitten by a dog, you may have the legal right to sue to the owner or another responsible party for damages.
In New York, the owner of the dog is liable for the medical bills of the injured person.
We have been helping residents in Rochester and throughout Western New York receive compensation for their dog bite injuries for more than two decades. We know what questions to ask, and how to handle the insurance companies.Don’t settle for less, let our experience work for you.
If you or a member of your family has been bitten or attacked by a dog, contact our experienced Rochester dog bite injury lawyers for dedicated representation. We offer free confidential consultations and would be happy to discuss the details of your case with you.
