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.
