Dog bite intake for Memphis firms.
Dog bite inquiries often come from parents, and they want to talk to someone the same day. Casestead answers every dog bite inquiry to your firm in about a minute, day or night, and books qualified people with your intake team in Memphis.
What the reply desk asks
Qualifying questions come from your firm's written criteria. For dog bite inquiries, firms usually ask for:
- Date and place of the bite
- Who was bitten, and their age if a child
- Whether the owner is known
- Medical treatment and any animal control report
- Photos of the injury
- Whether they have a lawyer
Why the first minute matters
A parent writing about a bitten child is anxious and will keep searching until someone answers. A reply in about a minute and a booked time with your intake team is often what decides where they go.
Follow-up
Parents who booked but did not sign get a short follow-up draft, approved by your staff.
Tennessee context for intake
The general limitation period for personal-injury negligence claims in Tennessee is 1 year (2 years if the at-fault person is criminally charged for the conduct and the suit is against that person (Tenn. Code Ann. § 28-3-104(a)(2))). Inquiries about older incidents are flagged for a lawyer instead of being booked like a new case.
Tennessee follows modified comparative fault with a 50% bar: a claimant found equally or more at fault generally recovers nothing.
General rules for context only, not legal advice. Exceptions apply (minors, government defendants, discovery rules, recent amendments). Your firm's lawyers decide.
