YOUR INJURIES ARE REAL, AND TOGETHER WE CAN TAKE ACTION.

Being involved in a dog bite attack is a traumatic event that has physical, emotional, and financial repercussions. Despite this fact, the majority of dog bites (4,7 million per year in the United States) go unreported and victims are not compensated for their injuries. Even when cases are reported to insurance companies, they typically offer between 10 and 20 percent of the total value of the victims’ damages when the victims do not have a lawyer. This occurs frequently because people are unaware that they can file a claim, do not know how to properly document or prove their claim, and lack the leverage and risk that a dog bite trial attorney provides.

To protect your legal rights in the event of a dog bite or attack, prompt action is essential. We have been assisting these attack victims for many years. We are well aware of the disorderly nature of the immediate aftermath of an attack. Our number one priority is always your health and safety! What is irreplaceable is this? We will immediately schedule appointments for you with the best doctors to treat your injuries, investigate the case, contact the police and animal control to obtain reports, contact the insurance company to determine the insurance policy limits, and notify them that you are represented by a trial attorney.

Dog attacks and animal assaults

Our California Personal Injury Law Firm handles dog bite and animal attack cases throughout the entire state.

In the state of California, dog owners are held strictly liable for their pets’ actions.

Dog owners are responsible for ensuring that their pets remain on their property or on a leash and do not bite people.

Most individuals believe that dog bites do not warrant hiring an attorney. Nonetheless, we have represented victims of dog attacks and animal maulings who suffered horrifying injuries.

Certain dog breeds, including Pit Bulls, Presa Canarios, Doberman Pinschers, German Shepherds, Rottweilers, Boerboels, and Great Danes, are notorious for their propensity for bites and attacks.

It does not matter what type of dog or animal bites or attacks you; if you are bitten or attacked, you will most likely have a claim for personal injury damages.

In many instances we have observed, the dog’s owners are either family friends or neighbors. Occasionally, the dog belongs to an unidentified neighbor who lives down the street.

Due to this, many dog bite victims are hesitant to seek legal representation to protect their rights.

You must realize that it was not your fault that the dog attacked you, and that you are entitled to compensation for your pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress, and permanent scarring.

Obviously, if you were the victim of a dog attack, you should seek medical attention immediately.

It is crucial that you identify the dog’s owner, as they are responsible for the dog’s actions.

In addition, if the dog’s owner resides in an apartment or leased home, the landlord may be liable for your injuries if they knew or should have known of the dog’s dangerous propensity.

As with other personal injury cases, we recommend that you report the dog attack to the dog’s owner and the owner of the property where the dog normally resides as soon as possible.

Ask the person you are reporting the incident to for a copy of their driver’s license or other identifying information when you report the incident as described above.

Also attempt to record a physical description of the individual to whom you are reporting the incident. We also recommend that you contact the police department and/or your local animal control organization in order to file a formal incident report.

You should never assume that a dog that has bitten you is disease-free. You should insist that animal control take the dog for rabies testing.

Then, we advise you to contact us at (800) 816-1529, extension 1, so that we may evaluate your case.
