We expect owners to be in control of their animals and recognize when their aggressive dog poses a danger to people and pets. Failure of a dog’s owner to keep their pet under control opens them up to liability when the animal bites or attacks someone. If you’ve been bitten by a dog or suffered injuries in a dog attack, you have the right to demand fair compensation from the owner. Our Westchester, CA dog bite lawyer can help you get it. Call Weinberg Law Offices today for a consultation.

Dog Bite Lawyer Westchester, CA

The imediate shock and fear of the dog attack soon changes to pain and worry about your health once you realize the extent of the harm you suffered. Dog bites and maulings rank among the most challenging injuries to treat. There is the danger of rabies, a high likelihood of serious infection, plus significant nerve damage if the bite penetrates the dermis and reaches muscle. Many victims are left permanently disfigured, especially those who are bitten by a large, powerful breed. Even with excellent medical treatment, you may face permanent scarring and a limited range of motion.

The psychological injuries caused by dog attacks can take even longer to heal than the physical harm. Many people develop an intense fear of dogs or suffer from PTSD, anxiety, or depression after an attack. Your settlement can include compensation for counseling and mental health care, in addition to treatment for your physical injuries.

Dog bite claims can quickly become more complicated than most victims expect. You may be shocked to experience victim-blaming after the attack, along with pressure from the dog’s owner to abandon the claim. Our Westchester dog bite lawyer handles all communication with the other party and their attorney, protecting you from harassment. Be assured that you have the right to pursue compensation for every loss caused by the attack. Because many dog owners fight so hard to avoid accepting responsibility, filing a civil lawsuit is the only way to secure the money you need for your medical care and other losses. We are here to support you every step of the way, keeping your focus on your best interests and confidence in your rights.
