Dogs are considered to be humans’ best friends, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be dangerous. Dog bites can be traumatic and, depending on the severity, they can also cause serious injuries. Whether the injury happened during a neighborhood walk, at a friend’s house, or in a public place like a park, you have every right to seek compensation. Call us today to work with our Antelope, CA dog bite lawyer!
Antelope, CA Dog Bite Lawyer
Following a dog bite, your first priority should always be to seek medical attention. Even minor-looking wounds can lead to nerve damage, severe scarring, or infections. While getting medical help, you can also start the process of gathering evidence by taking pictures of the bite. Other forms of evidence can include medical and police reports, witness statements, and photos of the dog and its owner. Our team can guide you through the entire process and help you gather strong evidence to build your case.
Dog owners are responsible for any injuries caused by their dogs. Even if the accident was the first time the dog bit someone, you can pursue compensation. Often, you only need to show that the bite occurred while you were in a public place or lawfully on private property. Proving this can often be enough, and you may not even need to prove that the owner was negligent.
Compensation can cover many areas beyond immediate medical costs. The severity of the injury may mean long-term medical costs. A dog bite can also limit your ability to work, resulting in compensation for lost wages, job rehabilitation, and even disability in severe cases. Insurance companies often try to limit or deny coverage to victims, but when they know our Antelope dog bite lawyer is on your side, they’re much more willing to negotiate.
