In Los Angeles, dog bites are a particular nuisance to society. A dog bite can result in serious physical injuries and permanent scarring as well as mental anguish and lasting phobias. With a high population of dangerous breeds such as Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Staffordshire terriers and other aggressive mixed breads, dog bites are a common occurrence in Los Angeles. Dog bites can also cause infections or diseases that will result in further health complications.
When a dog bite is the result of someone’s negligence or provocation, you should be entitled to recover damages for the pain and suffering experienced.
At California Attorney Group, our experienced Los Angeles dog bite attorneys provide the legal guidance, support, and execution to recover these damages. We regularly represent people in Los Angeles who have suffered dog bites, and we are particularly experienced with handling the complex nuisances of dog bite cases, including: successfully proving fault, assigning a monetary value to emotional distress, and working with the involved law enforcement agencies including Los Angeles Animal Services and Department of Animal Care and Control.
When people think of dog bites, they sometimes don't understand all the legal issues that go into properly handling a dog bite scenario. For example:
Different types of dogs (pit bulls, rottweilers, certain types of bull dogs) are known to be particularly violent, which may have a huge impact during a personal injury trial.
Dogs carry diseases such as rabies, cellulitis, C canimorsus infections which may seriously damage the health of the dog bite victim.
If a child is involved, the long term mental and emotional damage suffered during a dog bite can least for years, even decades.
Dog bite wounds that bleed will inevitably result in scars. The question is whether they will be disfiguring, disabling or painful. Some types of skin produce keloid scars (i.e., scar tissue grows out of control, frequently producing raised, disfiguring scars).
