Bitten By an Animal?
We’ll Help You Fight Back.

Bringing You Peace of Mind After an Animal Attack

“They’re friendly!” That’s what pet owners yell out as their dog approaches. But if you’ve been attacked by an animal, you know that isn’t always the case. Once you’ve been bitten by a dog, your view of canines can change forever. We may not be able to undo what happened, but we can work to win you a significant settlement for your pain and suffering.

Insurance Isn’t Enough. You Need an Attorney

Despite how straightforward a dog attack case may seem, the reality can be more complex. Dog bites often happen on neighborhood streets or outdoor trails, where cameras and eyewitnesses are less common. What’s more, the insurance industry has recently been excluding certain dog breeds from coverage, further complicating the matter of compensation.

Working with a trusted lawyer allows you to navigate these complexities with confidence. With an attorney representing your side of the story, you can leave the details to the professionals and focus on healing.

An Approach That Puts You First.
A Process That Brings Results.

We handle every case with the same passion and dedication while giving each victim the individualized attention they deserve.

Uncovering the Facts

Before we do anything else, we do our research. Our team retraces your steps, determining exactly what happened when the animal attacked, then consults with canine behavior experts. If available, we also review footage from nearby cameras and speak to witnesses.

Establishing the Narrative

Once we have the details of your incident in order, we construct a compelling case designed to convince any judge. During this stage, we organize expert witnesses when necessary and pinpoint the extent of the damages ahead of negotiations.

Arguing Your Case

All of this preparation pays off. If the other side of the suit wants to settle outside the courtroom, we’re ready with our list of demands. If they’d rather take the case to trial, we stand fearlessly in front of the judge, fighting to win you a fair payout.

Frequently Asked Questions

What kind of damages can I claim in a dog attack case?2024-07-23T11:41:04+00:00

Every case is different, but generally, you should be able to claim all medical bills related to your dog attack injury. You may also have the option to include lost wages, compensation for pain and suffering, and more in your suit. Our experienced team will be able to give you a better idea of your potential compensation when you meet with them.

Is there a “one-bite rule” in California?2024-07-23T11:40:43+00:00

No. While some states are more lenient with dog attacks, giving an animal a “free bite” before consequences, California is more strict. Even if you’re the first person the dog has bitten, you can press charges, as the owner is explicitly liable for their pet’s actions.

What should I do after an animal attack?2024-07-23T11:40:19+00:00

First and foremost, seek medical attention for your injuries. Once you’re feeling well enough, contact an attorney who specializes in animal attacks. We’ll encourage you to keep all documentation (medical and otherwise) as evidence for the case. Depending on your situation, we may offer other advice to help you win the biggest possible settlement.
