Dog bite and Los Angeles personal injury law
Los Angeles has more dog owners, and thus more dogs, than almost any other major city, it’s no wonder then that personal injury lawyers handle so many dog bite cases each year.
Dog bites are almost always unexpected and can cause severe disfigurement to adults and to children. Unfortunately many dog bites result in emotional injuries that are not obvious visually, but which can cause mental stress years after the attack.
Dog owners in Los Angeles and throughout the state of California are required by California Civil Code 3342 to assume full responsibility for any type of injury that is caused by their dog. Unlike many other states, California does not have a ‘one free bite’ rule that allows for owners who may not know that their dog would turn on someone.
Pacific Attorney Group and dog bite victims
At Pacific Attorney Group, we understand that dog bite victims have to deal with many issues. In addition to the immediate pain and fear that accompanies dog bites, there are often long lasting effects including emotional issues, scarring and other life altering issues. We evaluate the merits of each dog bite case individually, to determine what issues the dog bite victim may be dealing with, and to discover all possible compensation possibilities to ensure our client is properly represented in any personal injury case.
Dog bite cases in Los Angeles frequently go without proper representation from personal injury lawyers. This is often because the victims of dog bites are unaware of their rights under California law. Sometimes the victims don’t realize that there are laws in place to assist them with obtaining the compensation they need to put their lives back to a more normal state.
