Posted on: February 8, 2014

DOG BITES – ANIMAL ATTACKS LAWYER IN LOS ANGELES AND SAN FERNANDO VALLEY

There are close to 5 million incidents per year in the United States. Don’t downplay your “bite” even if its from your neighbor’s dog. Dog bites can be vicious animal attacks and in many cases, the victim suffers from:

• Immediate psychological trauma
• Severe physical injuries including puncture wounds
• Physical scarring that can require multiple reconstructive surgeries
• Inability to work resulting in lost wages

OVER $30 MILLION IN RESULTS

 Seeking fair compensation isn’t about attacking owner of the dog, its about getting your life back on track. It can be a difficult decision to make if the owner of the animal is a friend, neighbor, acquaintance or if the animal has been friendly and approachable with you in the past. These situations should be handled delicately by a compassionate attorney who understands the trauma and physical pain you have suffered and who understands the law.  California law holds the owner(s) of vicious animals that have bitten, attacked, mauled or killed responsible for the actions of their animals. Financially, you can seek:

 

• Pain and Suffering awards for emotional trauma
• Medical expenses
• Rehabilitation expenses for physical scarring
• Lost wages

California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 335-349.4 places a statute of limitations of two years from the date of the injury or accidents to file a civil claim so its crucial that you speak with an experienced attorney as soon as you possible can after being attacked.

NO FEE UNLESS WE WIN AT TRIAL OR SETTLE TO YOUR SATISFACTION — OUR LOS ANGELES DOG BITE LAWYERS CAN WORK FOR YOU

 It is not advisable to attempt to negotiate a settlement without legal counsel. Most Home Owners’ Insurance will cover basic medical expenses you have incurred from the attack and many insurance adjusters are anxious to settle with you and get your signature on a compensatory package that falls far short of what is satisfactory. Our attorneys at Webb & Ord are experienced in animal attack cases and can assess competently what fair compensation is for your loss.
