We Know How Traumatic Dog Attacks Can Be. Let Us Handle The Legal Burden.

When you are involved in a dog attack, several crucial factors can impact your case:

• Owner Negligence: Many dog attacks occur due to owners failing to leash, train, or properly restrain their pets. We investigate liability and gather evidence to strengthen your claim.

• Insurance Negotiations: Homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policies may cover dog bite claims, but insurers often try to minimize payouts. We negotiate aggressively to ensure you receive the full compensation you deserve.

• Medical Expenses and Damages: Dog bites can cause serious injuries, infections, and long-term scarring. Your settlement should cover current and future medical costs, lost income, and pain and suffering.

• State and Local Dog Bite Laws: California has strict liability laws holding owners responsible for dog bites, even if the dog has no prior history of aggression. We ensure that your claim adheres to all legal requirements.

Whether you suffered minor injuries or a severe attack, our attorneys are committed to securing justice for you.

Protecting Your Rights After A Dog Attack

A dog attack can leave you with more than just physical injuries—it can disrupt your life entirely. Our firm is here to help you with various aspects of your case, including:

• Severe Injury Claims: Dog bites often lead to nerve damage, disfigurement, and psychological trauma. We work with medical professionals to assess the full extent of your injuries.

• Children Victims of Dog Attacks: Children are particularly vulnerable to dog attacks, often suffering severe injuries to the face and hands. We ensure that young victims receive the compensation necessary for medical care and emotional recovery.

• Rabies and Infection Risks: Dog bites can introduce dangerous bacteria, leading to serious infections or rabies concerns. We help victims recover the costs of necessary medical treatments.

• Wrongful Death Claims: In tragic cases where a dog attack results in fatal injuries, we help families pursue wrongful death claims to seek justice and financial relief.

The legal process can be complex, but with Hafif-Stonehouse Law Group on your side, you don’t have to face it alone.
