Serious Injuries

Dog bite injuries can involve puncture wounds and lacerations that may result in scarring. Reconstructive surgery may be necessary. If the dog has not been vaccinated, the dog bite victim may need to undergo a painful treatment for rabies. Infection is always a concern.

Dog bite injury victims often suffer emotional as well as physical trauma. Psychological therapy may be required, especially for children. Our attorneys will pursue full compensation of all current and future expenses related to the dog bite injury.

Dog owners do not get a second chance in California. They are liable for any injury their animals cause regardless of whether the animal had bitten anyone previously.
