Getting You the Money You Deserve

Were You Involved in a Dog Bite Injury in Salt Lake City?

Dog bites affect millions of people each year in the United States, ranging from minor nips to severe attacks that require urgent medical care. Tragically, many victims are children who suffer lasting injuries.

While responsible pet ownership and training are important to prevent these incidents, even well-behaved dogs can act unpredictably. When a dog bite causes serious harm—such as deep wounds, scarring, or disfigurement—it can change your life forever and lead to ongoing medical needs.

At Waddoups Law Personal Injury Attorneys, we understand the physical and emotional impact of dog bite injuries. If you or a loved one has been bitten due to someone else’s negligence, you may be entitled to compensation for your medical treatment, pain, and suffering. Our experienced team is here to help you protect your rights and pursue the justice you deserve.

Looked over a contract for me. Was very professional and timely. Thanks George!

Chase Thomason

George and Jeri were incredible. I was riding my bike and was hit by a car and broke my back and had a TBI. I was so overwhelmed, but trying to do it all myself so I could get enough to cover my bills. I was getting the run around. When I finally called George and Jeri, and handed it over to them, not only was it a huge relief, they got everything I was entitled to, and faster than I expected. They also dealt with all the medical people and the insurance companies entirely—I didn’t have to worry. I never could have done all of this without them and I firmly believe I recovered faster because I had them. Every penny was worth it.

Sherie Christensen

George (& Geri) have repeatedly bested my expectations. After a car accident they took the majority of the pressure off so I could focus on getting the treatments I needed & work on getting better. They dealt with health insurance, auto insurance, auto repair, the other party insurance, the hospitals, clinics, doctors, Physical therapists, and follow through with all the documentation. They navigated me through difficult times and helped me get the best financial compensation possible. They are a small yet powerful team & without hesitation I recommend them!
