  Being attacked by a dog can be a traumatic event however unfortunately the law makes it very difficult to recover for your medical expenses or for the injury itself. The first hurdle is findling someone with insurance. This is difficult if the owner does not own a home but rather rents. In those circumstances the landlord can only be held responsible if the attack occurs on his property and...

  The Michael Vick situation has finally brought national attention to a large problem - owners who breed their dogs to attack. In Syracuse, a small town by national standards, I have come across numerous instances where people own pit bulls and other such dogs and purposely breed them to be aggressive.

  Most people fail to realize that even if they have liability insurance that does not mean that their insurance company will come to their defense if they get sued, especially in New York.

  Any time you are involved in an accident or are injured documenting your injury and how you were hurt is very important. Unfortunately time and time again those who are supposed to assist you become your worst enemy. Medical records are a very good example. If the information in your medical records is incorrect it can be fatal to any claim for personnel injury. If the facts of how you were hurt...
