Get an Attorney For Your Dog Bite

Dogs will bite for many reasons, including if they feel threatened, are trying to protect their owner, or are trying to establish dominance. Male dogs are more likely to bite than female dogs. Spayed or neutered animals are less likely to bite than dogs that are not sterilized. Many people keep dogs chained up in order to prevent them from biting other people. However, chained dogs are more likely to bite than those that are not chained.


Dog bites should always be taken seriously and treated by medical professionals. If you’ve been bitten by a dog, contacting a personal injury attorney in Northern California is the best decision you can make for your case.

Ensure You & Your Children Are Protected

Being bitten by a dog is a traumatic experience for most people, especially young children. Children are normally bitten on the face, head or neck. Adults are usually bitten on the lower extremities. If you receive serious injuries from a dog bite, the owner can be held responsible for any costs related to your injuries. This can include your medical bills, emotional, physical, and psychological therapy that may be necessary, and loss time off work if you’re recovering. Compensation, or damages, for this type of case, can be awarded if you have a valid case. Discussing your case and options with a trusted and experienced attorney is in your best interest. An attorney can help you with all the strict deadlines and paperwork necessary to file your claim.
