Determining Animal Ownership
To know who to submit your claim to, it is important to identify the actual owner of the animal. This can often be done by checking licensing and veterinary records.

Accidents Involving Animals
Injured by another person's animal, whether by bite, scratch, or otherwise? You have a right to compensation.
When you are injured by another person’s animal, Attorney Jeffrey Zarzynski helps you figure out what to do next.
Wisconsin law: if it has been officially documented that the animal caused injury previously, you may be eligible for double damages.
Filing the Necessary Reports
If a report has not already been filed with Animal Control, it will be necessary to do so. It is also important to check with Animal Control to learn whether the animal has injured someone before. Under Wisconsin law, you may be eligible for double damages if it has been officially documented that the animal caused injury previously.
