Understanding the Law and Dog Owner Responsibilities
In California, dog owners are liable for injuries caused by their pets. We have experience navigating the state and local laws that pertain to personal injury claims involving the legal responsibilities of dog owners. We can advise you on the proper legal course when you have suffered a dog bite injury, and help you obtain the medical and police documentation needed to strengthen your case.
Taking Legal Action and Recovering Compensation
Pet owners often have homeowners insurance plans that cover dog bites. We will deal with insurance adjusters on your behalf in an effort to work out a favorable settlement before going to court. Negotiating with the insurance adjuster often allows for a quicker resolution and can enable us to get you the compensation you deserve sooner.
However, there are times when going to court may be necessary, such as:
- The pet owners denies ownership of his or her dog
- The insurance company limits damages
- There are questions raised as to whether you were bitten by the dog in question
