Dog Bite Lawyer
H. Stojanovski, PLLC represents injured victims of dog bites across Washington. Dog bite laws in Washington favor the victims of dog attacks. However, to get the maximum benefit of Washington dog bite laws, you need to hire the right lawyer. If you, your child, or loved one was attacked and injured by a dog, you need an experienced attorney to help you get the compensation you deserve. I’ll start helping you as soon as we discuss your case during your FREE $0 consultation and case evaluation.
If you were bitten by a dog that belongs to a family member, friend, or neighbor you should know that you will likely be pursuing a claim through their homeowner’s insurance, not filing a dog bite lawsuit against their personal assets. So, if your relationship with the dog owner is giving you pause in pursuing your claim, please do not hesitate to contact my office for a FREE $0 consultation and case evaluation.

Cat Bites
Unlike dog attacks, cat and other animal attacks are treated differently under Washington law. Even though cats are generally small and cute, cat bites and scratches can become infected and require medical intervention. Cat teeth are as sharp as needles and can transfer dangerous bacteria through bite and scratch sites. Contact my office for a FREE $0 consultation and case evaluation to see whether your cat attack injuries are legally actionable.
