Bitten by a dog here in Puyallup?
Before you say one word to an insurance company, take a breath. There's something most people don't know that could make or break your claim. Here's
the good news: Washington law is actually on your side. Dog owners here are held responsible even if their dog
never bit anyone before. No digging up a history of bad behavior required.
At the Law Offices of Greene & Lloyd, we see this all the time, and we know exactly how to build your case around
it. Whether it happened near South Hill, downtown, or in a rental off River Road, it can get complicated fast, especially when a landlord might share the blame.
That's why we look at the whole picture.
Not just the dog, but the property, the paperwork, everything.
The first 48 hours matter more than you'd think.
Get medical care, snap some photos, write down what happened while it's fresh. The people who reach out early, they've got a much easier road ahead.
That's exactly why we offer a free consultation. No pressure, no obligation. We'll listen, walk you
through your options in plain English, and help you figure out who's really responsible. And you never pay a dime
unless we win your case. You don't have to figure this out alone. The Law Offices of Greene & Lloyd are right
here in your community, ready to help you get the care and compensation you deserve. Call us today at (253) 544-5434.
