Bitten By A Dog? We Bite Back. • Free Consultation 24/7 • Call: 1-800-LAWSUIT
Bitten By A Dog? That's All We Do.
The Michigan Dog Bite Law Firm is a Southfield-based personal injury firm led by Solomon Radner that exclusively represents dog bite victims throughout Michigan. We handle no other practice areas. Under Michigan’s strict liability law (MCL 287.351), dog owners are responsible for bites without the victim having to prove negligence — and the statute of limitations is three years. Free consultation 24/7. No fee unless we win.
4.5 million Americans are bitten by dogs every year. 800,000 require medical treatment. You’re not alone, and you’re not to blame.
In 2024, the average dog bite settlement hit $69,300. Total dog bite claims in America reached $1.57 billion. The insurance companies are paying because they have to—but only if you know how to make them.
The average hospital stay for a dog bite costs $23,680—50% more than other injury-related hospital stays. That’s before reconstructive surgery. Before therapy. Before the real costs hit.
Michigan law is on your side. Under MCL 287.351, dog owners are strictly liable. No excuses. No “first bite free” defense. They pay. Period.
But only if you fight back.
Every firm claims they can handle your dog bite case. Ask them how many they handled last month.
We don’t dabble in dog bite law. We live it. While other firms juggle 50 different practice areas, we do one thing: We make dog owners pay when their animals attack.
This singular focus means:
We know every insurance company trick
We know every defense attorney's playbook
We know exactly what your case is worth
We know how to get every dollar
Insurance companies will call you within hours. They’ll sound caring. They’ll offer “quick money to help with bills.”
It’s a trap.
Dog bite settlements range from $10,000 to $100,000 for moderate to severe injuries. Catastrophic cases can exceed $100,000 or reach millions.
Emergency, surgery, medication, therapy
Scar revision, reconstructive surgery, ongoing care
Every day of work missed, future earning capacity
Physical pain, emotional trauma, PTSD
Scarring compensation, especially facial injuries
Activities you can't do, fears you now live with

Severity doesn’t matter. You matter.
Whether you need stitches or surgery, whether the scars are physical or psychological—if a dog attacked you in Michigan, we’ll make them pay.
Every dog owner has homeowner’s or renter’s insurance. Most policies cover $100,000 to $300,000 for dog bites. Many have umbrella policies worth millions more.
But insurance companies don’t volunteer this information.
They’ll claim:
No consultation fees No upfront costs No hourly billing No hidden charges
We front all case expenses:
You pay $0 if we don’t win. When we win, our fee comes from the settlement. You never write us a check.
Michigan law gives you 3 years to file. But your case is won or lost in the first few weeks.
Today: You have a strong case Next Week: Witnesses forget details Next Month: Evidence disappears Next Year: Your case is worth half
The insurance company is working against you right now. Shouldn’t someone be working for you?
