San Diego Dog Bite Lawyers

San Diego Dog Bite Lawyers

A dog attack can leave long-lasting emotional and physical scars. You may feel unsafe visiting friends, walking around your neighborhood, or even leaving your home. A California Department of Health study revealed that boys under 10 are the most frequent dog bite victims, followed by older adults. Children often suffer dog bite injuries to the head, face, and neck, and they account for 70 percent of dog bite fatalities worldwide, according to the World Animal Foundation.

Arthritis, frailty, and other conditions make it difficult for senior citizens to escape dog attacks, and they are more easily injured. However, an animal attack can cause serious injuries to people of all ages.

California dog bite victims are often unaware of their rights. Our experienced San Diego dog bite lawyers have over 500 years of combined experience, and we can advise you of your legal options and help you pursue compensation.
