Dog Bites

Going out on a lovely spring afternoon or evening for a walk with your children should be enjoyable. Unfortunately, a loose dog can make the difference between enjoyment and a nightmare. California dog owners have a responsibility to make sure their dogs are properly restrained, and yet every year, thousands of people suffer serious injuries, and in some cases, death as a result of a dog attack.

Whether you, or your child is the victim, a dog attack can leave life-long psychological trauma. The attack can result in the need for stitches and surgery immediately following an attack. Victims may also have to undergo additional surgical procedures to minimize scars. Depending on the health of the dog, victims may also have to undergo painful shots for prevention of rabies.

All dogs should be properly restrained and an owner who fails in their responsibility to their pets can be held liable for injuries, and medical bills caused by their animal. Once you have sought medical care, immediately reach out to a California dog bite attorney for advice. These cases are very complicated and it is important you work with someone with experience.
