Deep puncture wounds or tears
-
Nerve damage or tendon injuries
-
Infections from bacteria or unvaccinated animals

Facial wounds and permanent scarring
-

Who Is Liable for Dog Bite Injuries in Idaho?
Under Idaho law, a dog owner may be held responsible when their pet bites or attacks someone without provocation. This applies whether the bite happens at a private residence in Twin Falls, a farm in Hansen, or a public place like Rock Creek Park.
In rental homes or apartment complexes in, landlords may also be liable if they knew the dog had a history of aggression. These cases can be complex—we investigate all parties who may bear responsibility for your injuries.
Dog Bites While on the Job
Many dog bite injuries in the Magic Valley occur while people are working:
-
Package delivery in Twin Falls
-
Home services and installations in Kimberly
-
Agricultural work on dairy farms near Castleford
-
Utility or meter-reading work in Jerome
In these situations, you may have both a workers' compensation claim and a personal injury case. Our team is highly experienced in coordinating dual claims like these to help you recover lost wages, medical expenses, and damages for pain and suffering. We’ve helped injured workers across the Magic Valley, including Burley, Eden, Buhl, and surrounding rural areas. If your job brought you face to face with an aggressive or unrestrained dog, don’t try to handle the situation alone.
How Much Is a Dog Bite Case Worth?
Several factors determine the value of your claim:
-
Severity of physical injuries and required treatment
-
Whether you need plastic or reconstructive surgery
-
Lost income during your recovery
-
Psychological and emotional harm, especially for children
-
Impact on your daily life and long-term well-being
Our team works with medical experts, economists, and counselors to build a strong case and maximize your compensation. We operate on a contingency fee—you don’t pay us unless we win your case.
