Dog Bite Lawyers Serving Las Vegas, NV
Each year, more than 4.5 million people in the U.S. are bitten by dogs, according to the CDC. Nearly 1 in 5 of these bites become infected, and Nevada is no exception to this growing concern. At Marathon Law Group, we provide top-rated dog bite legal services in Las Vegas, fighting to hold negligent dog owners accountable and helping injured victims recover full compensation.
Common Causes of Dog Bites in Las Vegas, Nevada
Dog attacks often happen fast—and without warning. Here are the most common causes:
- Poor training or socialization
- Aggressive breed behavior
- Dogs running loose without a leash
- Owners ignoring local leash or confinement laws
- Territorial aggression on private property
- Dogs provoked by loud noise or fast movement
- Failure to warn others of a dangerous or vicious dog
Even if a dog has never bitten before, Nevada law still allows you to sue for dog bite injuries under negligence or premises liability. Speak with a dog bite injury attorney today to explore your options.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What should I do immediately after a dog bite in Las Vegas?
First, seek medical attention. Then, report the bite to Animal Control and gather evidence—photos of the injury, contact info of the owner, and witness names. Lastly, contact a dog bite law firm like Marathon Law Group to protect your legal rights.
How can I prove the owner's liability in a dog bite case?
Our team collects witness statements, medical records, animal control reports, and video footage if available. We investigate whether the dog was off-leash, had a history of aggression, or was kept in violation of city codes.
What is the statute of limitations for dog bite claims in Las Vegas, Nevada?
In Nevada, you generally have two years from the date of the bite to file a claim. Delaying your case can cost you the chance to recover damages. Don’t wait—contact a local dog bite attorney today for a free consultation.
Can I file a claim if the dog has never bitten anyone before?
Yes. Even if the dog has no prior record of aggression, you can still hold the owner accountable by showing negligence, like failure to leash, warn, or secure the dog properly.
How long does it take to resolve a dog bite lawsuit in the City of Las Vegas?
Some claims settle in a few months, while others may take over a year if a lawsuit is needed. Each case depends on the injury severity, clarity of fault, and insurance cooperation.
What if the dog bite occurred on private property?
Private property does not prevent you from filing a claim. Nevada law permits lawsuits when a property owner’s negligence leads to injury. A premises liability attorney at our firm will assess your legal options.
