Dog bites are a serious issue, with 4.7 million cases reported annually in the U.S. and 20% requiring medical attention. In California, strict liability laws mean you don’t need to prove negligence to seek damages. The focus is on whether the dog bit the victim and identifying the owner, typically verified through licensing or vaccination records.
Homeowners or rental insurance often covers dog bite claims, but it's important to have an experienced lawyer on your side. Dog bite injuries can lead to scarring, requiring surgery or reconstructive procedures. Our team understands the physical and psychological impact of these injuries and will fight for compensation to cover medical costs and recovery.
