California Dog Bite Lawyer

A dog attack can cause deep puncture wounds, nerve damage, infection, permanent scarring, and lasting emotional trauma, particularly for children. California is a strict liability state, which means a dog owner is generally responsible for a bite even if the dog never showed aggression before.

We help victims recover compensation for medical treatment, reconstructive surgery, scarring, and emotional distress. In most cases, payment comes from the owner's homeowner's or renter's insurance, not their personal pocket, so you can pursue your claim with confidence.

Dog Bite Injuries We Handle

• Puncture wounds and deep lacerations
• Permanent scarring and disfigurement
• Nerve and tissue damage
• Infections, including rabies exposure
• Facial injuries to children
• Emotional trauma and PTSD

Compensation You May Recover

If another party's negligence caused your injury, California law may entitle you to recover compensation for:

• Past and future medical expenses
• Lost wages and loss of future earning capacity
• Property damage, including your vehicle
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Rehabilitation and in-home care costs
• Loss of enjoyment of life

California's Deadline to File

In most California personal injury cases you have two years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. Claims involving a government entity may have a deadline as short as six months. Evidence also fades quickly, so the sooner you contact an attorney, the stronger your case will be.
