A dog bite can be a traumatic and painful experience. At Spartan Law, our team is committed to helping victims of dog attacks understand their rights and obtain the compensation they deserve. Led by experienced South Carolina dog bite injury attorney Thomas Conits, we provide expert legal support tailored specifically to dog bite cases.
A dog bite injury refers to any harm caused by a dog’s aggressive behavior, including punctures, lacerations, infections, and emotional trauma. These injuries often require medical care, psychological counseling, and sometimes surgery for scarring or reconstructive needs.
At Spartan Law, we understand how disruptive these injuries can be. We are here to guide you through the recovery process, physically, emotionally, and financially.
Dog bites can happen for a variety of reasons, often linked to:
Failure of owners to control or restrain their dogs
Dogs being off-leash in violation of local laws
History of prior aggressive behavior
Improper socialization or training
Unsupervised interaction with unfamiliar people or children
In South Carolina, dog owners are generally held responsible for injuries caused by their pets, even if the dog had no prior history of aggression.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs each year in the United States. Of those, about 800,000 require medical attention.
Children are the most common victims and are more likely to suffer serious injuries to the head, face, and neck.
If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog, taking quick action is crucial:
Seek immediate medical care to prevent infections and treat injuries
Report the attack to local animal control or law enforcement
Document everything, including photos of your injuries and the location
Gather contact information from the dog owner and any witnesses
Do not negotiate with the dog owner or their insurance company directly

Attorney Thomas Conits will handle every aspect of your case, from investigating the circumstances of the attack to preserving critical evidence such as medical records, witness statements, and expert analysis.
South Carolina law provides strong protections for victims of dog attacks:
Strict Liability: Dog owners are responsible for injuries their dogs cause, regardless of prior behavior
Leash Laws: Many areas require dogs to be leashed when outside the owner’s property. Violations of leash laws can further strengthen your claim
At Spartan Law, we leverage South Carolina’s dog bite statutes to advocate aggressively for our clients’ rights.
Victims of dog attacks may be eligible to recover compensation for:
Medical expenses, including emergency care, surgeries, and rehabilitation
Pain and suffering for physical and emotional trauma
Scarring and disfigurement
Psychological counseling and therapy
Lost wages and loss of future earnings
Every case is unique. Spartan Law will evaluate all aspects of your claim to pursue the highest recovery possible.

In many cases, yes. Renters or homeowners insurance policies often provide liability coverage for dog bites. We will investigate all potential insurance coverage to maximize your recovery.
South Carolina follows strict liability rules. You do not have to prove the dog had a history of biting or aggressive behavior.
You generally have three years from the date of the attack to file a personal injury lawsuit.
Filing a claim focuses on financial compensation. Whether a dog is quarantined or euthanized is determined by local animal control authorities, not by the injury claim itself.
There are no upfront costs. We only get paid if we recover compensation for you.
Yes, but your compensation may be reduced if you contributed to the incident. We will help evaluate your situation carefully.
