Dog Bites & Animal Incidents

Dog bites are very common injuries as there are more dogs per person here in the nine Bay Area counties than any other place in California.

Dog bites often spike in summer. If it happens to you, document everything before talking to insurers.

🐕

After a bite: Get the owner’s info, take photos of injuries, and report it—even if it seems minor.

Love dogs? Us too. That’s why we hold reckless owners accountable.

Dog bites are controlled by statute and are strict liability offenses, meaning that if you have been bitten it is for the most part the fault of the owner and there is rarely any comparative fault involved.

We represent injured clients exclusively and are dedicated to protecting your rights and securing compensation for your family after a negligent dog bite, pit bull attack, or other incident involving an injury from an animal.
