You have the right to compensation if a dog bit you, causing your injuries due to the negligence of the owner under Oklahoma law. To know what your rights are, reach out to the Sapulpa personal injury lawyer at BDIW Law for immediate help and guidance. Our Sapulpa dog bite lawyer can help you navigate the process of getting your medical bills and other losses paid.
Can I Be Compensated for a Dog Bite in Oklahoma?
This falls under Oklahoma Statutes Title 4. Animals §4-42.4. In most situations, a dog owner is responsible for the actions of their dogs, meaning that if the dog bites you and you did not do anything that would have caused it, the owner is responsible for the losses that occurred. Oklahoma has strict liability for dog bites like this.
Keep in mind that you must be able to prove that you had the right to be where the dog was. For example, if there are no trespassing signs posted on a person’s property and you still enter the property, leading to the dog biting you, it may be harder to receive compensation on a claim like this. If you are in a public park and the dog bites you, even if the owner has the dog leashed, they are still responsible for the injuries you have.
Our Sapulpa dog bite attorney can offer insight into the specifics of your case. We encourage you to work with an attorney throughout this process to minimize the risk of not receiving compensation owed to you. Our attorney can review your case and provide more insight into the rights you have.

SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY TODAYWhat Losses Can You Claim After a Dog Bite Case in Oklahoma?
Our dog bite lawyer in Sapulpa will work closely with you to determine what all of your losses are after a dog bite. Many factors can make these dog bites dangerous, including the size and strength of the dog, the location of the bite, and if it was a full attack with more than one bite. Some of the financial compensation you may be owed in a case like this includes:
- Medical expenses and losses: This includes all medical bills you had related to the dog bite, both in the past and in the future. It includes medications and secondary treatments you may need as well.
- Lost time at work: If you missed time at work due to the medical care you needed, for example, you may be able to claim compensation for those losses.
- Pain and suffering claims: Dog bites can be traumatic and lead to long-term, lasting injuries that warrant pain and suffering claims.
As you work with our dog bite attorney in Sapulpa, we will uncover any losses you have from the dog bite, such as secondary surgeries to repair damage, emotional trauma requiring mental health support, and ongoing difficulty working. Discuss all of the ways this injury has impacted your life with BDIW Law. You may be able to recover damages for each of those areas.

With this information, we can approach the insurance company for the dog owner to pursue financial compensation.
