Dog bite injuries cause lasting physical and emotional scars — especially for children. Cannon Breck's attorneys pursue full compensation from negligent dog owners and their insurance carriers.
Dog bite injuries go far beyond the initial wound. Victims face infection risks, nerve damage, scarring that may require reconstructive surgery, and the lasting psychological trauma of an animal attack. Children are especially vulnerable — they suffer the majority of severe dog bite injuries and often develop long-term fears and anxiety.
Montana law holds dog owners responsible for injuries caused by their animals. Under Montana Code Annotated 27-1-715, a dog owner who knew or should have known of the animal's dangerous propensities can be held strictly liable for bite injuries. Additionally, negligence claims may apply when owners fail to properly restrain, fence, or control their dogs.
At Cannon Breck, we move quickly to document injuries, identify the animal and owner, establish the dog's bite history, and pursue claims through the owner's homeowner's or renter's insurance. We fight to ensure victims receive full compensation for medical treatment, reconstructive surgery, scarring, emotional trauma, and ongoing psychological care.
Dog attacks happen in parks, neighborhoods, rental properties, and businesses. We investigate every circumstance to establish liability.
Children suffer the most severe dog bite injuries, often to the face and head. We pursue claims that cover reconstructive surgery, therapy, and lasting emotional care.
Dogs that attack without provocation demonstrate dangerous propensities. We establish the owner's knowledge and pursue strict liability claims.
Owners who allow dogs to roam free violate leash laws and create foreseeable danger. We prove negligent containment and failure to restrain.
Landlords who allow dangerous dogs on their property may share liability. We pursue claims against both owners and negligent landlords.
Pack attacks cause devastating injuries. We identify all responsible owners and pursue claims against each party.
Postal workers, delivery drivers, and service technicians face elevated bite risks. We hold owners accountable for failing to secure their animals.
Too many firms treat personal injury as volume work — sign clients, settle fast, move on. That approach leaves money and justice on the table. At Cannon Breck, we limit our caseload because your case deserves an attorney who knows your name, understands your injuries, and fights like your future depends on it — because it does.
Rooted in the Flathead Valley, we know the judges, the courtrooms, and the community. That local knowledge translates to smarter strategy, better outcomes, and a legal experience that feels personal from the very first conversation.
You will always know the status of your case. You will always have direct access to your attorney. And you will never pay a fee unless we win.
