We Pursue Pennsylvania & New Jersey Dog Bite Cases Way Beyond the Dog Owners
ORDER YOUR FREE BOOK NOW -- The Pennsylvania and New Jersey Dog Bite Book
Individuals in NJ and PA who are seriously or catastrophically injured in a dog attack are frequently among the most undercompensated accident victims in our legal system. Almost always, the dog bite case begins and ends with a case against the dog owner. For all practical purposes, the dog owner's homeowner's insurance coverage is the sole source of recoverable assets. If the defendant dog owner has only $100,000 or $300,000 in coverage, that is the extent of the attack victim's recovery.
Dan O'Brien has successfully pursued the serious and catastrophic dog bite case way beyond the dog owner. Dan has a proven track record of success in pursuing the catastrophic dog bite case against dog breeders, dog trainers and those engaged in the business of selling dogs. Dan has utilized the services of some of America's foremost experts in the fields of dog handling, dog breeding and animal behavioral science to assist him in successfully pursuing these complicated and novel cases.
Pursuing theories of liability against individuals and companies other than a dog owner can be very complicated, time-consuming and expensive. This type of investigation and litigation is only economically practical in cases involving very serious, permanent injuries.
Dan is so passionate about this type of case that he has written a book, entitled, "The Pennsylvania and New Jersey Dog Bite Book." This book is offered free to anyone who would like to read it. You can order your copy by clicking on the appropriate link on this website.
If you or a loved one has been seriously or catastrophically injured in a dog attack, and you would like the man who wrote the book on serious and catastrophic dog bite litigation in Pennsylvania and New Jersey to investigate the case on your behalf and possibly to represent you, feel free to give Dan a call.

Frequent Questions for Dog Bite Cases:
- I was attacked and bitten by a dog. What are my rights?
- I have two Dobermans which I bought from a well-known breeder/kennel.When they grew up, they were very sweet and friendly, but I could not control them when I would walk them together, so I brought them back to the kennel for a 10 day obedience school. The dogs stayed at the kennel during this time. When I got the dogs back, they would growl at me and they seemed constantly angry. Then, one of the dogs attacked me very badly when I made a routine correction, and he could have killed me. I can tell that something was done during the training which changed the temperament of my dogs and that this is what caused the attack. The people at the kennel deny that they did anything wrong, and they refuse to take any responsibility or to help me with the very large medical expenses which I have. Can you do anything for me?
- I was bitten by a dog which ran through "invisible fence" type of system that goes around the perimeter of my neighbor's yard. The dog would usually run up to the edge of the lawn and stop because of an electric shock that the dog would get with the invisible fence. My neighbor tells me that the fence was "on" and he cannot understand how or why the dog got passed it. Is there anything I can do even though the neighbor says that his fence was on?
- I live in an apartment complex. It is a "no dogs allowed" complex. One of my neighbors has had a dog in her apartment for several months. It's a very unfriendly dog and several neighbors have complained to management, who did nothing. The dog bit my daughter. Do I have a case?
