Pennsylvania Veterinary Malpractice Lawyer

Pets are extremely important. Whether you have a dog, cat, hamster, or another kind of pet, domestic animals feel like family. Most households go to great lengths to keep their pets safe and happy and ensure that they live long and healthy lives.

One part of caring for a pet is bringing them to the veterinarian for veterinary medical services. We trust vets and veterinary professionals to care for our pets’ health and keep them safe. Unfortunately, this is not always what happens. Just as human doctors can perform malpractice or abuse, so can vets. There are hundreds of incidents per year of veterinary malpractice and negligence.

Because your pets can’t defend themselves, you must step in for them. Our Pennsylvania veterinary malpractice attorneys can help represent you in court so that the individual or individuals who harmed your pet can be held legally responsible. Whether the incident was malicious or an accident borne of negligence, the vet should pay for what they’ve done.

When Veterinary Medical Practice Goes Wrong

Unfortunately, veterinarians are sometimes negligent of their patients’ needs. Because pets can’t tell their owners what happened, it can be difficult to build your veterinary malpractice case. Therefore, as an owner, you need to know what to do.

If your animal passes away unexpectedly while under the care of a veterinarian, be sure to seek out a necropsy rather than having them cremated right away. This helps us determine the cause of death and build a case against the vet.

If your pet is alive and ill or in pain because of a veterinarian’s actions, request veterinary medical records from the vet’s office and document your pet’s symptoms with both photos and videos. These resources give you a better chance of seeking justice for your pet.

Trust Our Attorneys

Vet malpractice cases are often more complicated than clients expect. Because the victim can’t tell their own story, we must build a case without firsthand evidence. Our attorneys have a significant amount of practice in this arena and can successfully build an effective case for your pet.
