Temecula Personal Injury Attorneys Representing Victims of Animal Attacks
California is one of many states that impose strict liability on dog owners whose animals attack and injure other people.
As cut-and-dried as that standard might appear, if you or a loved one has been injured by another person's dog, it is important to recognize that there are defenses that a dog owner can raise to avoid liability — the two most common of which would be that you were trespassing or teasing the dog at the time of the attack.
At Kodam & Associates, P.C., in Murrieta, California, you will find experienced lawyers who can help you obtain the medical care you need to recover from dog bite injuries and the compensation you deserve for the expenses and other losses you've incurred as a result. Our goal is to build a complete picture of your injury and its long-term impact on your life — after which we will present a firm demand to the insurance company on your behalf and if necessary, take them to court.
Time Is of the Essence
Even if the dog's owner is a friend or neighbor — remember that it is not the friend or neighbor who will be paying your expenses out of their own pocket. It is their homeowners insurance company, and you can be sure that the insurance carrier will explore every possible means to avoid covering the total cost of your recovery. In practical terms, this means that you will need experienced legal representation to protect your rights, even if the dog owner has told you they'll pay for everything.
Our attorneys will immediately begin an investigation and start to gather the evidence that will be needed to substantiate your claim. This includes getting information about the dog's owner or caretaker, identifying and locating potential witnesses, obtaining copies of official incident reports and collecting relevant medical records.
