Dog Bites

Dog Bites

Dogs are America’s favorite animal, with more households owning dogs than any other pet. And the number is rising. There are now some 80 million dogs in American homes.

While these furry creatures are often cute, they can also be surprisingly vicious. Strong jaws and sharp teeth mean that dog bites are no laughing matter. Dog attacks can lead to disfigurement, infection, and even death. What’s worse is that dogs are more likely to attack children because of their small size and their inexperience in being around dogs. Children between the ages of 5 and 9 are the most likely to be bitten.

With nearly 80 million dogs in the US, there are about 4.5 million reported dog bites each year. While only a small fraction of those bites result in fatalities, many result in emergency room visits and other significant medical care. The average cost of insurance claims on dog bites in 2014 was $32,072. And this number is only rising.

Because of the increase in dog attacks in recent years, many regions have enacted specific laws to protect citizens from dangerous dogs and to hold owners responsible for their animals’ actions.

What to do when a dog bites you

If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog, call Mark Elliot Korn immediately after seeking medical care.

Dogs are not liable for what they do, but their owners are. Unfortunately, there are many negligent dog owners who have failed to properly train, observe, and restrain their dogs. In all of these instances, dog owners are responsible for paying for damages related to dog attacks.

You probably have many questions about what to do if a dog bites you. Before you make any statement, be sure to call Mark Elliot Korn to discuss what happened and to judge what kind of restitution you may be entitled to.

Dog attacks can be very serious matters that result in prolonged medical care, including skin grafts, scar surgery, and infection treatment. These treatments not only contribute to high medical costs, but also prevent you from going to work and cause you to suffer from pain and trauma. With an experienced dog attack lawyer you can pursue remedies for lost wages and medical costs as well as for pain and suffering associated with the traumatic event.

An Experienced, Knowledgeable Dog Attack Lawyer

Mark Elliot Korn has an encyclopedic knowledge of the specific laws that govern dog attacks in the Maryland area. After discussing your case with him, Mr. Korn vehemently pursues your interests in court and brings you the full extent of what you are owed. He doesn’t stop until the courts have set things straight.

Auto Accident

Maryland Lawyer for Car Accidents

Have you or a family member been involved in a vehicle accident? Do you have someone advocating for your best interests?

You need an experienced attorney who will work tirelessly to make things right. You need Mark Korn on your team. Call to discuss your case today.

The Auto Accident Attorney that Fights for You.

I’ve been in an accident. What now?
It is important to contact an attorney immediately after you have been in a motor vehicle accident, before speaking to the insurance company or signing any kind of statement. It is possible that any statements you give will limit your ability to be properly compensated in the future. So call our offices immediately in order to be sure that you’re not forfeiting what you are owed.

Why do you need a lawyer for a car accident?

There are a few reasons why you might need a lawyer for a car accident. Lawyers take the facts in the case and determine whether there was negligence or wrongdoing by any party. If so, your lawyer will advocate for you so you are compensated for what you have gone through.

Here’s what you might be entitled to:

• Property damage – the costs of repairing or replacing your vehicle and anything else that was damaged in the accident.
• Diminished Value – your car is no longer worth the same amount of money if its been damaged in a motor vehicle collision.
• Lost wages – you are entitled to recover wages that you lost due to the accident, either for a certain period, or indefinitely, if you cannot return to work.
• Medical expenses – hospitalizations, doctor visits, continued care, specialists, psychologist and other medical expenses.
• Pain and suffering – besides the economic damages, you can sue for damages related to continued chronic pain, disfigurement, anxiety and the effects of trauma.
• Loss of consortium – When a loved one is incapacitated or killed in an accident, you can recover funds for the loss of partnership or other services that your loved one provided.

Call Mark Elliot Korn today to discuss your case.

Trucking accident lawyers

If you’ve been involved in an accident with a truck, you might be confused about what your rights are and how to proceed.

Trucking accidents add complexity to already complicated situations. Not only are large trucks more dangerous because of their size and weight, but, because they are commercial vehicles, there are usually multiple parties involved: the driver, the trucking company, the company that loaded the truck, etc. All of these parties might share liability for what happened and this makes legal action more intricate and even cumbersome. You need an experienced trucking accident lawyer who understands the details of the law and will work tirelessly to bring you justice.

Workers Comp

Maryland Workers’ Compensation Attorney

Have you or a family member been injured on the job? We answer your questions, defend your rights and get you the money you are owed.

Call today for a free case evaluation and assessment.

What is workers’ comp?

Workers’ Compensation is a system that pays you whether you were at fault or not. If you sustained an accidental injury or suffered an occupational disease as the result of your job, you are entitled to lost wages, medical expenses, and a lump sum of money when you reach maximum medical improvement.

All employers have Workers’ Compensation insurance and lawyers protecting their interests. You need a lawyer looking out for you and your family. Workers’ Compensation was originally implemented to take fault out of the workplace disputes between employers and employees. Unfortunately, insurance companies still try to pay you as little as they can to make you go away. You need an attorney to guide you and fight for your rights to maximize your benefits under the Workers’ Compensation Statute.

Why do you need a workers’ comp attorney?

Human resources, adjusters and insurance companies all work for the employer. Their job is to pay you or your medical providers as little as they can to make you go away. The Rules that govern Workers’ Compensation are voluminous and complicated. You need an attorney to help navigate the system and make sure you are receiving the money and benefits you deserve.

Who has your best interests in mind?

Without an experienced workers’ comp attorney working for you, the employer’s insurance company will try to minimize your benefits. An informed and persistent workers’ comp attorney like Mark Korn will work for you so that you can receive the full benefits you are owed.

Mark Korn will also determine if you have a case against a third party. A third-party suit could be filed with an equipment manufacturer or a subcontractor who acted negligently. In this case, you would need someone actively advocating for you in court – and out of court.

Remember, each day that passes without a workers’ comp attorney means you might be missing an opportunity to get the money you are owed. Unless you have an extensive knowledge of Maryland Workers’ Compensation law, you are not able to advocate for your best interests. You might not even have thought of a third party to seek compensation from.

Sample Page

This is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this:

Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.)

…or something like this:

The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickeys to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.
