Q: I was bitten by a dog in a major retail corp that resulted in 80 stitches in my face. Can I sue for premise liability?
A: There is not enough information about the facts of what happened to be able to provide you with an answer. The best I can do is tell you that there may be liability, but there are a lot of questions that must be answered before you get there. It's possible that the store may be liable, but it is also just as likely that someone else or a third party may be liable. You should contact a very good personal injury attorney in your area to meet with them and go over the facts of the case. That way, if there is liability, you will have your answer and be able to get help right away. Good luck! www.JudgeCase.com
