Facial Scarring, Colorado's Dog Bite Statute, And A Separate Negligence Claim
McCormick & Murphy are Fort Carson dog bite scarring lawyers for people left with facial scarring after a dog bite. We file in El Paso County Combined Courts.
A dog bite to the face can leave lasting scars, and serious permanent disfigurement can qualify as serious bodily injury under Colorado's dog bite statute. That matters because it can affect how the case is framed and what the owner is exposed to.
The dog bite statute makes an owner liable for economic damages, which includes medical care tied to the bite. Scarring itself is a noneconomic loss, and pursuing full compensation for the scarring often requires bringing a separate negligence claim alongside the statutory claim.
We build both pieces of the case together from the start. That means looking at how the dog was kept and whether the owner was negligent, not just relying on the statute alone, so the disfigurement itself is properly accounted for.
Photos, Medical Records, And The Dog's History In A Scarring Case
Facial scarring cases depend heavily on photographs taken at different stages of healing, along with the treating medical records. Emergency treatment, any infection, nerve injury, and later scar revision consultations all belong in the file. We do not promise a particular medical outcome or guess at future surgical costs, but we do make sure the full record of what happened and what was needed is preserved and organized.
Witness accounts of the attack, animal control or police reports, and information about the dog's history also matter. Together with the medical record and photo timeline, this evidence supports both the statutory claim and any negligence claim tied to the disfigurement.
- Photos of the wound from the day of the bite through healing
- All emergency and follow-up medical records
- Notes on infection, numbness, or nerve symptoms
- Records of any scar revision or plastic surgery consultation
- Contact information for witnesses to the attack
