         Dog bites are extremely painful and scary. They can also be confusing as to why the dog attacked and who to ask for compensation for your medical bills or lost wages. Pet owners can be held liable for their dog\u2019s behavior. If a dog bites you, you may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, lost future earnings, and your pain and suffering. Unfortunately, many pet owners will protect their dog over you. They will blame you for the attack or try to claim it occurred during rough play. Insurance companies have trained their adjusters to get you to believe this and accept less money for your injuries. Don\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":451,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[163],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-449","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-negligence","cities-miami"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.schlacterlaw.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.schlacterlaw.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.schlacterlaw.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.schlacterlaw.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.schlacterlaw.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=449"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/new.schlacterlaw.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/449\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.schlacterlaw.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/451"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/new.schlacterlaw.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=449"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.schlacterlaw.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=449"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/new.schlacterlaw.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=449"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
