Understanding the Law and Pet Owner Responsibilities
Our firm's founder, attorney Scott Barbag, knows the California state and local laws that apply to animal attacks. We will help you understand the legal responsibilities of dog owners and help you determine whether your rights have been violated.
Pursuing Compensation From the Pet Owner's Insurer
Homeowners insurance policies often contain clauses that cover injuries caused by dogs and other animals. We deal with the insurance adjusters on your behalf in order to help you obtain compensation for your medical costs, emotional trauma, lost wages and rehabilitation. We first attempt to resolve matters without filing a lawsuit, as that is the time insurance companies are the most pliable. However, we are always willing to fight for clients in court when matters are under dispute.
