Dog Bite Injury Attorney

California imposes strict liability on dog owners for bite injuries — meaning the owner is generally responsible when their dog bites you in a public place or lawfully on private property, even if the dog has never bitten anyone before. Despite this clear standard, insurers still dispute the severity of injuries, blame victims for provoking the dog, or delay payment on scarring and nerve damage that may worsen over time.

Dog bites can cause deep puncture wounds, infections, tendon and nerve injuries, facial scarring, and lasting psychological trauma — especially when children are involved. Prospect Law Group documents your injuries with medical photography, obtains veterinary and ownership records, and works with specialists to value disfigurement and future corrective procedures. Homeowners and renters insurance policies often cover bite claims even when the owner insists they cannot pay out of pocket.

If you or your child was attacked in a Glendale neighborhood, park, apartment complex, or commercial property, you should not bear the financial burden of someone else's failure to control their animal. We help dog bite victims recover compensation for emergency treatment, surgery, scar revision, therapy, lost work, and the emotional impact of an unprovoked attack.
