Dog Bites Are Serious Injuries — Legal Help May Be Essential

Dog Bites Are Not Minor Incidents

Some people underestimate the seriousness of a dog bite. The truth is, many dog attacks result in:

• Deep puncture wounds and torn tissue
• Dangerous infections like MRSA or rabies
• Permanent nerve damage and mobility issues
• Significant scarring and disfigurement
• Emotional injuries, such as anxiety and PTSD

Treatment can involve emergency care, surgeries, skin grafts, long-term rehabilitation, and psychological counseling. These are not just minor accidents—they are life-changing events that require serious legal attention.

Why You May Need Legal Help

Under California law, dog owners are strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs, whether or not the animal had a history of aggression. However, that doesn't mean getting compensation is simple. Insurance companies often downplay injuries, delay payments, or shift blame onto the victim.

You deserve a legal team that knows how to:

• Prove liability under strict liability rules
• Document the full extent of your physical and emotional injuries
• Demand full compensation for all your medical expenses, lost wages, and pain
• Stand up to insurance companies who want you to settle for less

At California Trial Law Group, we take on the hard work so you can focus on healing.

What Compensation Can Cover

If you've been bitten by a dog, the compensation we fight for may include:

• Hospital and medical bills
• Future treatment costs, including reconstructive surgeries
• Lost income from missed work
• Pain and suffering, both physical and emotional
• Psychological counseling for trauma and PTSD
• Compensation for permanent scarring or disfigurement

We are committed to building strong cases that reflect the full impact the attack has had on your life.
