Dog Bite · $500 – $15,000
Their dog. Their responsibility. Your scars.
Dog attacks leave more than puncture wounds — reconstructive surgery, nerve damage, and a fear that doesn't go away. Homeowner's insurance is supposed to cover this.
Sound familiar?
What people in your position
are actually dealing with
- You need plastic surgery or scar revision that insurance is slow to approve
- The owner is a neighbor, a friend, or family — and it's uncomfortable
- A child was bitten and the emotional impact is ongoing
- The insurer is arguing you provoked the animal
Realistic timeline
Dog bite claims commonly resolve in 6 to 18 months, often gated by how long reconstructive treatment takes.
Why funding fits this case
Most states hold dog owners strictly liable, which makes liability clearer than in many injury cases. The value often hinges on scarring and future surgery, so cases wait for you to finish treating — and that wait is where funding helps.

$500 – $15,000

How it works
From application to cash
Two minutes on your phone
Tell us it's a dog bite case, what state you're in, and how much you need. No credit check, no documents to upload.
Your attorney confirms the case
A funder licensed in your state contacts your attorney directly for the case details. You don't gather records or chase paperwork.
Money lands
If it qualifies, funds typically arrive within 24–48 hours of approval — direct deposit or check, your choice.
Your advance is non-recourse. The funder only gets paid if your case wins or settles. If it loses, you keep the money and owe nothing — no credit check, no monthly payments, nothing that follows you. Funding does carry a fee that grows the longer your case runs, so take the smallest amount that solves your problem and review the payoff schedule with your attorney first.
Dog Bite questions
Straight answers.
The owner is someone I know. Am I suing them personally?
In most cases the claim is paid by their homeowner's or renter's insurance policy, which is exactly what that coverage is for.
The dog had never bitten anyone before. Does that matter?
In strict liability states, no prior bite is required. In one-bite states it matters more. Your attorney will know your state's rule.
My child was bitten — can I apply?
Claims involving minors have extra court oversight and often settle differently. Talk to your attorney; funding rules vary for these cases.
