Dog Bites
Being bitten by a dog is a traumatic, devastating experience. If you have been bitten by a dog, GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION. Permanent scarring can sometimes be prevented with early, proper medical attention. TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS of the dog bite. It is very important to document the injury. A picture is worth a thousand words.
Dog bites can scar you emotionally as well as physically. Overcoming the psychological trauma of a dog bite is often more challenging than recovering from the physical injuries.
The fear and helplessness one feels after being bitten by a dog can take a long time to heal.
If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog, you need to know your legal rights. You may be angry at the situation and want something to be done immediately to protect you and or others from a dangerous dog. We can help you contact the proper authorities. The laws concerning dog bites and personal injury vary between states, counties and cities so the location in which you were bitten or attacked can effect your compensation. We have helped many clients in Alameda and surrounding cities such as Oakland, Berkley, San Leandro, Hayward and throughout the East Bay. We can help you find the best way to file your claim and get the proper compensation for your injuries too.
Sometimes people who are bitten by a dog, know the owner and are reluctant to report the incident but know something should be done. They may worry that the dog will be put to sleep. Unless the dog has had numerous bites, it may just be quarantined to watch for infection. You are still entitled to compensation for your injuries.
A dog bite injury can be expensive. Emergency room visits, pain medication and plastic surgery can be very costly. You are entitled to reimbursement for your expenses and pain and suffering due to a dog owner’s negligence. We can help you get compensation.
A dog bite claim can be made against the dog owner’s homeowner’s insurance company. We can help you negotiate the insurance claim.
At our office, only an attorney will handle your case. You will never be handed off to a paralegal.
