Dog Bite

San Francisco Dog Bite Lawyer

Representing Victims of Dog Attacks in California

Dogs can be very dangerous animals if they are not controlled and trained properly. The animals have very powerful jaws and a vicious dog attack can lead to permanent disfigurement and extensive medical treatments to address the injuries and infections that result from the attack. Dog owners are responsible for their pets' behavior to protect the public from injury and attack. Even if the animal has not previously exhibited aggressive characteristics, an owner can be held accountable for their failure to keep their dog contained in the backyard or inside the house.

Effective Representation for Dog Bite Victims

Owners are especially liable in cases involving children, as their ignorance and natural curiosity puts them in greater risk of danger. If a dog attacked you or a loved one, it is important that you retain the counsel of a knowledgeable injury lawyer immediately after receiving proper medical care. The stress of handling an injury and a complicated claim is over. We will work with you so your focus can be on recovering. The atrocities you endured are unacceptable and the negligent party will have to answer for their irresponsible actions. You need an experienced law firm to address the legal issue regarding your claim.

How Can A Dog Bite Lawyer In San Fransisco Help me?

Here are some of the best ways that an attorney will be able to help you if you or a loved one got bit by a dog:

  1. Determine your legal options: Did the dog have a history of aggression? Was it properly restrained at the time of the attack? An attorney will gather all key information and assess your case to determine the best approach.
  2. Help build a strong case: Your attorney will gather evidence, interview witnesses, and consult experts in order to present a solid case on your behalf.
  3. Negotiate with the responsible party's insurance company: Many dog bite cases are settled outside of court, and an experienced attorney will negotiate for maximum compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering, and any lost wages.
  4. Representation in court proceedings: In the event that your case does go to trial, your attorney will be by your side, advocating for justice.
  5. Handle all legal paperwork and filing deadlines: Dealing with the ins and outs of the legal system can be overwhelming, but your attorney will handle it all and keep you informed every step of the way.
  6. Seek fair compensation for damages: Your attorney will work tirelessly to ensure that you are fairly compensated for any physical, emotional, and financial harm caused by the dog attack.
