Dog Bites and Animal Attacks: Protecting Your Rights
A dog bite or animal attack can result in severe injuries, infections, and emotional distress, especially for vulnerable victims like children. In California, pet owners are held strictly liable for their animals' actions, meaning that victims have the legal right to seek compensation for their injuries.
At Tribune Law Group, we have extensive experience handling dog bite cases and representing victims of animal attacks. Our attorneys understand the profound impact these incidents can have on both your physical health and mental well-being, and we work to ensure that those responsible for the attack are held accountable.
Types of Compensation You May Be Entitled To:
- Medical Expenses: Immediate medical attention, surgery, and any reconstructive procedures required.
- Lost Wages: Compensation for time missed from work due to recovery.
- Psychological Trauma: Coverage for counseling or therapy required as a result of the attack.
- Long-Term Rehabilitation: For severe injuries that require extended medical care.
Our Approach to Dog Bite and Animal Attack Claims:
- Thorough Investigation: We gather all necessary evidence, including medical records, witness statements, and photos of the injuries, to build a strong case.
- Holding the Pet Owner Accountable: Under California law, pet owners are held strictly responsible for the actions of their pets, regardless of the animal’s history of aggression.
- Negotiation and Litigation: Whether through negotiation with insurance companies or by taking the case to court, we fight aggressively for full and fair compensation.
At Tribune Law Group, we strive to help you recover not only from the physical injuries caused by the attack but also from the emotional trauma that often accompanies these incidents. Our goal is to ensure you receive the maximum compensation to move forward with peace of mind.
