María Elvira Gómez is an incredible woman. She assisted me with a liability claim following a dog bite incident, and her expertise was evident from day one. She’s sharp, attentive, and definitely the best in the business. I’m extremely grateful for her help and highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a great personal injury expert

What to do if you’ve been injured:

Report your accident to the appropriate authorities ASAP. Whether this is the police, an employer, a store employee, or a supervisor. Get medical treatment for any injuries you have sustained; don’t “shake it off.” Some injuries, like traumatic brain injuries or internal injuries, can have delayed symptoms. The sooner you can receive medical attention, the better for your health and your case.
Collect as much information as possible. You or someone you trust should attempt to get information from any involved parties. Important information can be the names of all parties involved and any eyewitnesses. If you were in a car crash, get the other driver’s insurance information too.
Take photographs. Photograph the scene, your injuries, the causing factors of the accident, and anything you think may be relevant. If you were injured on someone’s property due to a dangerous condition, take photos of the dangerous condition.
Get copies of all relevant documents. This can include police reports, incident reports, medical documents, and communications with insurance companies.

The more information you have about your case, the stronger your claim will be. If you were injured due to another’s carelessness, contact one of our experienced California Dog Bite lawyers at Capital Law Firm to learn more about filing a claim.

Dog Bites in California

California has one of the highest rates of dog bites of any state in the U.S. The CDC reports that over 4.5 million cases of dog bites are reported annually around the country. While dog bites are very common, it doesn’t make them any less devastating. The consequences of a dog bite can be serious and far-reaching.

Often, these attacks are unprompted and particularly damage children, the elderly, and people with physical limitations because they cannot protect themselves. Where many other states allow for the “one bite rule” – dog owners are not liable for damages unless the animal has been known to bite before – in the state of California, dog owners are subject to strict liability. This means that owners are liable for damages from the first time their dog bites someone.

In representing the victim of a dog bite or attack, we will want to learn as much as possible about any dangerous propensities of the dog, such as whether the dog has ever bitten or attacked anyone before, and whether neighbors were in fear of the dog attacking them. On the other hand, if you were injured by a dog jumping on and scratching you, you will not be eligible for a “Dog Bite” claim, though a negligence claim may be filed against the owner.

Contact Capital Law Firm and tell us what happened. We will study the aspects of your case to represent you thoroughly.

What Can be Recovered in my Dog Bite Case?

In California, dog owners have absolute liability for all medical bills sustained from dog attacks. Dog owners can also be liable for damages such as pain and suffering, lost time from work, etc.

Every dog bite case is unique. The amount of compensation you will be able to recover for your claim will differ from what another victim would recover in a similar case. Capital Law Firm is experienced in working with a wide range of cases.

Some of the damages that we can help you recover include:

Past and future medical expenses
Expenses for reconstructive surgery
Expenses for physical therapy and rehabilitation
Cost of long-term medical care
Lost wages
Property damage
Loss of the capacity to earn
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Loss of the quality or enjoyment of life
Disfigurement and scarring
Wrongful death

Capital Law Firm will review your case to determine the damages for which you are eligible. We will work with you to preserve evidence to demonstrate the devastating impact the dog bite injuries have had on you and your family. We will even represent you in court if a settlement cannot be reached in negotiations. You can rely on Capital Law Firm to diligently study the aspects of your case, to get you the best representation.
