A dog bite can be an incredibly traumatic event, especially if that bite happens to a child. And statistics show that, of the estimated 850,000 people that have to seek treatment for a dog bite in an emergency room each year, approximately 60% are children. Such incidents are especially worrisome, as you would hope that the pet’s owner would take special care to ensure that their animal doesn’t send a child to a hospital.

No matter the circumstances which led to your dog bite, chances are you’re entitled to some form of financial restitution. Here is but a small sampling of the types of situations in which a dog’s owner can be held liable for his or her negligent actions:
- The animal was running around off its leash
- The owner’s property was not properly maintained so as to prevent the pet’s escape
- The dog has previously shown a proclivity toward violent or aggressive behavior
- The bite occurred on the property of the canine’s owner
California has in place very specific rules that must be followed by all pet owners. If these owners fail to adhere to these guidelines, then they must take responsibility for the actions of their dog. If a dog bites someone, the owner has clearly failed to take steps to prevent such an action, and he or she must be held accountable.
With us in your corner, you set yourself up for success that might otherwise elude dog bite victims. We can help gain you compensation for things as varied as:
- Medical treatments and their attendant bills
- Pain and emotional suffering
- Lost income as a result of missing work
- Other incidental expenses that can accumulate
