Dog Bite Attorney in Holmen, WI
Children and families spend time throughout Holmen’s parks, trails, schools, new subdivisions, and neighborhood gathering spaces. When a dog bite occurs in one of these familiar settings, the physical wound may be only one part of the harm. Facial injuries, scarring, fear, and changes to a child’s routine can continue well beyond the initial medical visit.
Claims involving children require careful attention to current treatment and possible future needs. Parents should preserve photographs as the injury changes, follow medical recommendations, keep records of missed school or activities, and avoid resolving the matter before the long-term impact is understood.
Bosshard Parke represents injured children and adults in the Holmen area. Personal injury attorney Howard J. Eglash investigates the dog’s ownership and control, reviews insurance coverage, and presents the complete effect of the injury rather than focusing only on the first set of medical bills.

Holmen, Wisconsin Dog Bite FAQs
What if the dog knocked me down without biting me?
A person may still have a claim when a dog causes a fall, fracture, or other injury without puncturing the skin. Responsibility depends on the facts and governing law.
What records help prove the extent of an injury?
Medical records, bills, wound photographs, scar progression photos, work records, school information, counseling records, and notes about daily limitations can help show the full impact.
Who pays medical bills while the claim is pending?
Health insurance or possible medical-payments coverage may address some bills before a liability claim resolves. Reimbursement issues should be reviewed before settlement.
What if the attack happened at a rental property or business?
The dog owner or keeper remains central, but property control, notice, lease terms, business activity, and additional insurance may require investigation.
How are dog bite claims involving children handled?
A parent or guardian generally helps pursue the claim, and additional approval or protection of settlement funds may be required. The child’s future care, scarring, and emotional effects deserve careful attention.
What if the insurance company asks for a statement or release?
Use caution before giving a detailed recorded statement, signing a broad medical authorization, or accepting a settlement. Understand the request and its consequences first.
