Dog Bites to Children
It is an unfortunate fact that children are often the victims of the most serious and lasting dog bite injuries. When a child is attacked by a dog or another animal, there can be life long consequences, both physical and psychological. We are passionate advocates for injured children and will fight for justice and the maximum compensation available in these cases.
Do You Have a Case?
California is not what is known as a "free bite" state. This means that it will not be necessary to prove that the animal in question has actually attacked another person previously in order to obtain financial compensation. It is also not necessary for the dog to belong to a breed that is particularly large or prone to viciousness.
Most dog bite cases involve a claim against the responsible party's insurance. Not all people maintain insurance and some liability policies specifically excludes certain types of dogs, including pit bulls, Rottweilers, Dalmatians, Doberman Pinschers, Huskies, Boxers, Chows, German Shepherds, Great Danes, and others. We can give you an honest and straightforward assessment of your chances of receiving compensation in a dog bite lawsuit.
Contact a Lawyer as Soon as Possible
It is important to act quickly to have the dog quarantined and to determine whether its shots are up to date, potentially saving you from the pain of unnecessary rabies treatments. We can also document the injuries at every stage in order to better convey the seriousness of the attack to the insurance company or jury. There is also a one year statute of limitation on most dog bite cases in California. Don't let time run out.
