How Can Our La Mesa Dog Bite Lawyers Help You
In some situations, a dog bite can cause serious injury and losses. In these cases, working with an experienced legal team allows you to file a maximum amount of compensation and to hold all of those who put you at risk accountable. To achieve these goals, we will handle all aspects of your case, including:
- Gathering initial information about what occurred so that we can document who may be responsible for your injuries. This may be the dog owner, someone maintaining the dog, or a third party. Our attorneys will gather all evidence necessary to document what happened.
- Expect our Las Meas dog bite lawyer to comprehensively value your claim. To do that, we will look at all available evidence of your losses, including current and future losses. We back this up with evidence.
- Negotiating with the insurance company by our highly experienced legal team can minimize many of your risks. Expect our attorneys to work to protect your privacy while pursuing full compensation.
In some situations, it may be necessary to pursue full compensation by filing a lawsuit against those responsible. As experienced trial attorneys, you can count on us to use the full extent of the law to hold those who hurt you accountable.
What Kinds of Compensation Can You Expect From a Dog Bite Injury Claim?
The law provides you with the right to pursue full and fair compensation for any losses you can document are directly related to the negligence of the dog’s owner or other party responsible. This may include:
- Medical bills associated with your accident, including emergency medical care, hospitalizations, medications, and surgical procedures
- Ongoing medical costs, such as the cost of rehabilitation or cosmetic surgery to repair disfigurement
- Lost wages and loss of earning capacity if you are unable to work for an extended period of time
- Property damage if you suffered any damage to your personal belongings during the accident
- Pain and suffering, including from the accident as well as from the recovery process
- Emotional trauma, including costs related to seeking treatment
California Statutes of Limitations for Dog Bite Claims
The statute of limitations in California for a dog bite accident is two years. You must file a lawsuit in a court of law within those two years in order for the claim to be considered. Most dog bite cases do not end up in court, but not taking action soon enough could mean you cannot recover losses. We encourage you to act today.
