Our experienced dog bite lawyers are ready to help you recover money for your pain and suffering, medical bills, and lost time at work.
After a dog bite you may be able to collect compensation for medical expenses, lost wages if you missed work, pain and suffering, and scars from the attack. We can help you figure out the exact compensation you’re entitled to receive after calling our firm.
If you were bitten by a friend’s or neighbor’s dog, it may help you to know that dog bite claims are typically filed against the dog owner’s renters or homeowners insurance company, not the individual dog owner. Dogs who don’t have a history of aggression will very rarely need to be put down.
Dog bites are incredibly frequent occurrences, especially in California. Though there are several breeds in particular that are linked to attacks, such as Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, and German Shepherds, the owner can also be responsible if they mistreat or abuse the dog.
Dog bite incidents can be terrifying and often lead to lasting mental trauma and anguish in addition to physical injuries. This is especially true in cases involving infants and minors.
Because dog bite cases can be complex, it is imperative that you are represented by an experienced and knowledgeable dog bite attorney right from the beginning. There is much more that goes into dog bite claims beyond negotiating a settlement with the dog’s owner or their homeowner’s insurance carrier.

Dog Bite Injury Claims FAQs
The cause of an accident is often an issue that is disputed between parties, and these disagreements can make claims challenging to handle. In many cases, you will also need to contend with insurance companies unwilling to give you the full amount you deserve. When you have an attorney in your corner, these hurdles become much easier to clear, and you are much more likely to receive financial compensation.
The Guardians of The Injured operates on a contingency fee basis. This means that we only get paid when we win your case for you (we get a percentage of the settlement). This means that we only benefit when you do.
There are a lot of factors that can go into the value of your claim. These factors will generally revolve around the various details of the case, such as insurance limits, the severity of the injuries, and the long-term prospects for work and quality of life. The factors that will be looked at include medical bills, loss of earning ability and wages, and the level of pain and suffering experienced.
No hard number can be given for the value of a case right away. Medical records will need to be examined, statements taken, and other factors will need to be weighed. We can give you a rough estimate based on past precedence.
We have legal professionals standing by reading to provide you with a free case evaluation. This will tell you the viability of your case as well as what other cases like yours have been able to earn in the past. Fill out our free consultation form by following the link here.
In most cases, your claim will not require a lengthy court process. The majority of these issues are settled to avoid the costs and time needed to decide a case. In fact, over 90% of successful claims do not go to trial.
Our friendly and helpful professionals will review your case and respond to your evaluation request within 24 hours. For all other legal proceedings, the timetables can fluctuate greatly depending on various factors. We will do everything in our power to move our process along as quickly as possible without compromising your case’s quality.
There is no single answer as the “statutes of limitations” (the time limit for filing a claim) will vary depending on the type of lawsuit and the state you live in. Some types of claims can have a statute of limitations that is only a couple of years, so you should not waste time contacting an attorney.
