Fresno Dog Bite Attorney
Dog bite law in California is relatively simple: If you are bitten by a dog, the owner of the dog is responsible for your injuries. Millions of people are bitten by dogs each year in the United States. Victims of dog bites are frequently children. Postal carriers and couriers are also common victims of dog bites and animal attacks.
What to Do If You Are Bitten By A Dog
If you are bitten by a dog or if your child is attacked by a dog, it is crucial to identify the owner or caretaker of the dog. Get as much information as possible about the dog, including, what breed it is, how old it is, and whether it has been vaccinated and when. Next, seek prompt medical treatment. Even if the bite does not seem serious, all dog bites come with the risk of infection. Tell the treating physician you have been bitten by a dog and if necessary, have your injuries evaluated by a plastic surgeon. Finally, speak to an experienced Fresno dog bite lawyer. You may be entitled to compensation for your injuries, including medical costs, scar treatment, plastic surgery, lost earnings and pain and suffering.
