Animal attacks can happen quickly and without warning, leaving victims unsure of what led to the incident or who is responsible. In Georgia, liability often depends on whether the animal had shown aggressive behavior before or whether the owner failed to follow local safety rules. Our team helps you make sense of these details, explains what to expect, and guides you toward the next steps with care.
How We Can Help
Dog and pet attack cases require a close look at the animal’s history, the owner’s actions, and the circumstances leading up to the incident. We review incident reports, animal control records, veterinary or vaccination history when available, witness statements, and any footage that may help clarify what occurred.
Our team handles communication with insurance companies, property owners, landlords, or animal control so you do not have to manage those conversations on your own. We keep you informed at each stage, answer your questions, and make sure important evidence is preserved.
If negotiations do not result in a fair resolution, we are ready to advocate for you in court. Our goal is to help you pursue compensation for medical treatment, lost wages, scarring or long-term injuries, pain and suffering, and the emotional impact the attack may have had on your life.
You deserve steady support after an incident that never should have happened. We are here to help you move forward.
Every crash is different, but the aftermath often feels the same: confusing, stressful, and full of uncertainty. Medical treatment, car repairs, insurance calls, and time away from work can quickly become overwhelming. At Meeks Impact Law, our attorneys step in to handle every detail so you can focus on your recovery.

We handle all types of collisions including rear-end impacts, hit-and-runs, T-bone accidents, head-on crashes, and commercial-vehicle collisions.

The most important step is to get medical attention, even if you feel okay. Some serious injuries take time to show symptoms.
When you are safely able, report the incident to animal control, document your injuries with photos, gather the owner’s contact information, and ask them for the animal's vaccination records.
When you can, reach out to a personal injury team that can help guide you through the next steps.
Liability often depends on whether the owner knew the animal had aggressive tendencies or violated local leash or containment laws. We review the specifics of your situation, including the animal’s history and the circumstances of the attack, to determine who may be held accountable.
You may recover compensation for medical care, future treatment needs, lost income, scarring or disfigurement, pain and suffering, and emotional distress. Severe attacks may also lead to long-term impacts that are considered in the claim.
Yes. Reporting the attack helps document what happened, supports public safety, and can provide valuable evidence for your case. Our team can help you understand how and when to file a report if you have not already done so.

Even if you haven't been hurt in an accident, reach out to our team and we'll be happy to help you assess your coverage to make sure you are as protected as possible.
Children are sadly more likely to be seriously injured in dog attacks. Georgia law recognizes additional considerations for young victims, and compensation may reflect long-term medical needs or emotional effects. We help families understand these factors and pursue the support their child needs.
