Watch This Before You Talk to Insurance
“If you’ve been injured by a dog, one of the biggest mistakes you can make is talking to insurance too early or accepting a quick payout that doesn’t come close to covering your damages. Before you do anything—get clarity.”
The Reality
Here’s What Most People Don’t Realize
After a dog bite, things move fast—and not in your favor.
Insurance companies and dog owners:
- Look for ways to avoid liability
- Try to shift blame onto you
- Downplay the seriousness of your injuries
- Push fast settlements before you understand long-term effects
I’ve seen strong dog bite cases fall apart because of what happened in the first few days. That’s why how you handle this now matters more than most people think.

Case Updates
You’ll Never Be Left Wondering What’s Happening
One of the biggest frustrations people have with lawyers is simple—they can’t get updates.
I built this differently.
You can request a case update anytime directly from this site, and my team will respond by text or email.
No chasing. No silence.
What Most Lawyers Won’t Tell You
Not all dog bite cases are treated equally.
Some get pushed through quickly.
Some get lowballed and settled early.
That’s not how I approach this.
I build every case with the expectation that it might need to go further—because that’s where real leverage comes from.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Answers When You Need Clarity Most.
First, take care of your health. Seek medical attention immediately—even if the injury seems minor. Dog bites carry a high risk of infection and complications.
After that, start protecting your case:
Document everything you can:
- Photos of the injury and location
- Information about the dog and owner
- Medical treatment, diagnoses, and expenses
- Notes about what happened while it’s still fresh
And one critical point—avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies too early. That’s where many cases lose value.
The sooner you take the right steps, the stronger your case can be.
My job is to take the pressure off you and build your case the right way from the start.
That includes:
- Investigating the dog owner’s responsibility
- Reviewing leash laws and prior incidents
- Gathering medical records and expert opinions
- Handling all communication with insurance companies
- Negotiating settlements—or preparing for trial if necessary
At the Law Office of Zane Weeks, PLLC, the focus is simple: protect your rights and push for the strongest possible outcome.
Because these cases are often more complex than they seem.
Insurance companies may argue:
- You provoked the dog
- The owner isn’t responsible
- Your injuries aren’t serious
Without someone on your side, it’s easy to:
- Accept a low settlement
- Miss critical evidence
- Get pressured into decisions that hurt your claim
I make sure your case is taken seriously, built correctly, and positioned for maximum leverage.
Every state has a legal deadline called the statute of limitations. In most cases, you typically have 1 to 3 years—but timing depends on your situation.
The real issue isn’t just the deadline—it’s what happens before it:
- Evidence disappears
- Witness memories fade
- The defense builds its case
That’s why acting early gives you a major advantage.
I work on a contingency fee basis.
That means:
- No upfront fees
- No hourly billing
- You only pay if we win your case
This keeps everything aligned. I only succeed when you do.
You don’t have to worry about legal costs while dealing with medical bills, recovery, or time away from work. I handle the case—you focus on healing.
A dog bite can leave more than just physical injuries — the impact on your life can be significant, and compensation should reflect that.
Depending on your situation, you may be entitled to recover:
- Medical expenses — emergency care, surgery, infection treatment, and follow-up visits
- Future medical costs — if ongoing treatment or reconstructive procedures are needed
- Lost wages — time missed from work during recovery
- Pain and suffering — physical pain and emotional trauma from the attack
- Scarring and disfigurement — especially relevant in visible or severe bite cases
- Psychological treatment — anxiety, PTSD, or fear-related counseling after the incident
Dog bite injuries are often undervalued by insurance companies — especially the long-term emotional and physical impact. They will try to settle quickly before the full picture is clear.
