San Diego Dog Bite Attorney

Dog bites are dangerous because they can cause personal injury and subject the victim to any number of diseases and infections. Moreover, the injuries often result in stitches and skin grafts causing permanent scarring. While some people don’t take dog bites seriously, the personal injury attorneys at Gnau & Tamez Law Group, LLP know better. For years, we have represented victims suffering from dog bite injuries, and our lawyers understand the challenges and mental anguish dog bite victims suffer.

It’s important to note that as a victim of a dog bite, you have legal rights both under criminal and civil laws, to receive compensation for your injuries and justice under the law. The city of San Diego and county of San Diego have different laws governing dog bites, as does the state of California. You need qualified personal injury attorneys who possess a sophisticated understanding of the law to represent you and aggressively fight for the damages you deserve.

Dog bites can lead to serious harm, and you may be entitled to a cash recovery or financial judgment for the following:

• Medical treatment – such as first aid, emergency room, hospital visits and ambulance transportation

Case Study

Below is an example of a case our firm handled:

A woman was working as a nurse taking care of a woman who had a well behave guide dog. Unfortunately, the dog bit our client’s inner thigh. At first, our client believed she didn’t have a claim against the owner, however, our skilled attorneys were able to discover a homeowner’s policy that covered the incident. The case settle and our client benefited from the decision.

Dog Bites can cause various physical, mental and emotional injuries, and not just to the person bitten. A member of the immediate family might be suffering from emotional distress as a result of seeing the victim getting mauled, which could be the basis of a “bystander claim.” Only a skilled attorney who understands the law, has years of experience and a successful track record can help you through this process.
