Goodrich & Geist

Bill Goodrich and Josh Geist are Pittsburgh, PA Accident and Injury Attorneys. Both were raised in honest, hardworking families that have endured many financial struggles. The lawyers are keenly aware of the daily struggles of working-class families and how an unnecessary injury can make their life spiraling out of control. One out of every five people who are bitten by a dog needs medical treatment to remedy the injury. Treatments are often extensive and require a provider to take time off work to recover. Sometimes surgeries and other treatments are needed to regain the function of the injured body part. In addition, aftercare treatments are also necessary for the wound to heal properly. To protect others from dog attacks, animal attacks and other animal-related incidents, Pennsylvania has enacted laws. Pennsylvania requires dog owners to maintain control over their dogs at all times. The term “control” is broadly defined and enforced to ensure other people are not harmed by a dog. A dog owner must maintain control of the animal using any means available to restrain or protect it from others. Dogs may not be allowed to roam without a way to control them.
