San Jose Lawyers Offering Dedicated Legal Assistance with Dog Bite Claims
They are often referred to as man's best friend. However, sometimes a dog can just snap without provocation. Serious consequences can occur when this happens, especially if a child is bitten. If you or a loved one has suffered serious injuries as a result of a dog bite, our personal injury attorneys at Williams, Pinelli & Cullen, LLP can address your legal concerns. Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation to discuss your case.
Whether you have been attacked by a Pit Bull, or your child was mauled by a German Shepherd, dog bite injuries can be very serious, resulting in:
- Lacerations
- Puncture wounds
- Punctured vessels
- Facial disfigurement
- Broken bones
- Permanent scars
- Emotional damage
Many people who survive dog attacks will require extensive medical treatment, including plastic surgery in more extreme cases. However, while the physical damage will heal over time, the emotional damage may never subside. Counseling or even anti-anxiety medication may be necessary for some dog attack victims.
Pursuing Compensation for Dog Bite Injuries in California
If you have been attacked by a dog and suffered serious injuries, the dog's owner has a responsibility to cover your medical expenses and other related expenses. We recognize that pursuing a lawsuit to cover the losses related to your dog bite injuries can be uncomfortable — especially if the dog's owner is a close friend, neighbor, colleague or family member. However, what many people do not realize is that in most situations, medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering and other compensation is actually covered by the dog owner's homeowner's insurance policy — not their personal income.
We take all personal injury cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you will pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation. Therefore, if you have questions about pursuing a claim for your dog bite injuries, there is nothing to lose by contacting our firm. Contact us today to schedule a free initial consultation.
