CALIFORNIA DOG BITE ATTORNEY
California law provides that dog owners are strictly liable for dog bites. This means that the owner’s intent or knowledge of the dog bite is irrelevant for purposes of being held liable for all damages resulting from the dog bite.
If you or a loved one has been injured by a dog bite, call or text us now at (818) 201-2727 for a free consultation. We work on a contingency fee agreement for dog bite cases, which means we do not get paid unless you win your case.
DOG BITE INJURY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQS)
Following a dog bite or attack, you should ensure your safety and seek immediate medical attention. Document the scene of the incident by taking photos and gathering contact information from any witnesses and the dog owner. It is important to contact a dog bite attorney to guide you through the legal process and protect your rights. You should refrain from speaking with insurance carriers or third parties regarding the incident prior to consulting with a traumatic brain injury attorney. A dog bite attorney will guide you through every step to ensure you get the right medical care and effectively handle your claim.
A dog bite attorney can help you by evaluating your case, gathering evidence, and negotiating with the dog’s owner and insurance company on your behalf. They can provide legal advice, represent you in court if necessary, and work to ensure you receive fair compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.
Compensation for personal injuries, such as those resulting from a dog bite, can include medical expenses, lost wages, future medical costs, pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life. In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the responsible party for particularly egregious behavior.
The time limit to file any personal injury lawsuit, which includes dog bite injuries, is commonly known as the statute of limitations. In California, the statute of limitations for most personal injury lawsuits is two years from the date the injury or incident occurred. It is important to consult with a dog bite attorney as soon as possible to ensure your claim is pursued promptly and maximize the compensation you deserve.
Avoid these common mistakes in a dog bite case: not seeking immediate medical attention, failing to document the incident, speaking to insurance adjusters or other third parties without legal representation, accepting a quick settlement, and delaying legal action. Consulting with a dog bite attorney can help you avoid these mistakes.
