Despite their prevalence (an estimated 850,000 per year that require treatment in an emergency room), dog bites often don’t get taken seriously by the very people who are forced to sustain these injuries. Although many of these wounds are minor, some can be quite severe. And even minor injuries can prove dangerous to a person’s health if the victim develops an infection because they did not have the wound properly treated.

By not paying attention to both the physical dangers and the financial burden of a dog bite, victims can set themselves up for pain and financial distress. Don’t let this happen to you. The San Jose dog bite attorneys of the Nagelberg Bernard Law Group can walk you through the process of gaining compensation for your injuries.
You’ve sought us out, so already you have done yourself a big favor. Most people fail to take into account the financial damage that a dog bite can create. In addition to medical bills, which are certainly no small matter, accident victims need to consider that they are losing money by missing work, and that pain and emotional trauma can also take its toll. Dog bite victims deserve to be reimbursed for all of these things, and sometimes even more.
The state of California has laws on the books that require pet owners to maintain safety standards that ensure people aren’t attacked by their dogs. When negligent persons fail to meet these standards, they must be held accountable. Here are just a few situations in which an accident victim is entitled to compensation:
- The dog has a history of violent or aggressive behavior which the owner failed to curb
- The animal was off its leash
- The canine escaped from the owner’s property, an action which the owner did not take steps to prevent
- The bite occurred on the property of the pet’s owner
