Dog Bite Attorney in Los Angeles

Our Personal Injury Attorneys Focus on Dog Bites

You may be enduring tremendous pain as the result of a dog bite. Worse, you may see your child suffering through the misery of such an attack. Dogs' teeth and claws are weapons. In an instant, an animal that appears to be passive and calm can inflict massive physical and psychological damage. This damage may last a lifetime. The dog's owner must be held accountable.

We Know how to Protect your Rights and Get Results

Most insurance companies include dog bites in their homeowners’ policies. However, they will resist paying or may offer a low settlement. What may appear to be a reasonable amount of compensation may not be. What about the long term impact of your suffering? Lost wages? Repeat doctor's visits? Expensive prescriptions? The insurance company may try to pay as little as possible. Don’t let them. 

No matter the type of dog—pit bill, chow, fox terrier—and no matter the size of the animal, when dogs bite people, the majority rule is that the dog owner is strictly liable and required by law to pay full compensation to a victim. We will work to ensure that you receive full compensation for lost wages and medical expenses. Our lawyers will also fight for punitive damages. This is money that is awarded above and beyond what is required to compensate a victim. This money is typically awarded to the victim as a punishment to the dog owner, especially in cases when the dog owner was aware that the dog was violent and did not take necessary precautions. 

In one of our most recent dog bite trials we received a quarter million dollar jury verdict. The defendant dog owner vehemently denied that her dog attacked our client. We conducted a thorough investigation to challenge this denial:

• We interviewed neighbors
• We spoke with animal control employees and collected vital records
• We consulted with physicians
• We took photographs of the dog
• We filmed the scene of the attack
• We collected photographic evidence of the injuries to our client
• We hired investigators and experts to study the evidence
• We presented evidence to the jury in a sophisticated and clear way 

We conclusively argued that the defendant's dog attacked our client and caused her significant injuries. Our aggressive investigation and prosecution of this case led to this victory and justice on behalf of our client. We will put in the same dedication to your dog bite case.
