Dog Bite Lawyer Hawthorne, CA
Dog bites can cause permanently disabling and disfiguring injuries. Many victims have large, open wounds that carry a high risk of infection and are difficult to suture. You may have large scars, limited mobility, and permanent nerve damage. Then, there’s teh need for a tetanus shot, and the risk of rabies, leaving dog bite victims with high medical bills they incurred through no fault of their own.
Not only do dog bites leave lasting physical scars, they often also leave the victim traumatized; PTSD, phobias, and anxiety are all common in victims of dog attacks, and these scars can last long after the physical ones fade.
As a victim, you’re entitled to fair compensation from the dog’s owner after an attack. Our Hawthorne dog bite lawyer guides you through the civil claims process and protects your rights.

Because of this, we do not need to prove that eh dog had a history of violence. We prepare a layered case based on evidence, witness testimony, and input from medical professionals to help you get full and fair compensation for your medical bills, pain and suffering, and mental trauma.
