Morgan Hill Dog Bite Lawyer

Morgan Hill Dog Bite Lawyer

Most people love dogs due to how cute and loyal they are. However, we sometimes forget that dogs can cause serious injuries depending on the situation. A dog bite can be fatal, and it’s the owner’s responsibility to prevent their canine friend from biting people, especially if the person doesn’t give any cause for being bitten. At Mitchell & Danoff Law Firm, Inc, our Morgan Hill, CA dog bite lawyer can help you pursue charges and compensation!

Morgan Hill, CA Dog Bite Lawyer

Dog owners have a responsibility to ensure that their dogs are well-trained enough not to bite people when the situation doesn’t call for it. While it might be true that a dog owner can’t prevent every possible scenario—dogs are animals at the end of the day—they still should be held accountable should an attack happen.

Dog bites can be fatal, especially when caused by a larger dog, and if they attack sensitive areas like the face or groin area. Such attacks can lead to hefty hospital bills, lost wages, and temporary or permanent disfigurement. Even if the owner can’t foresee and prevent every single scenario, they should still pay for any damages when their dog is at fault. Even when a bite initially doesn’t look bad, it’s highly recommended to visit the hospital to check for any signs of infection. Of course, even a simple hospital visit can result in a large bill at the end of the day, something which you shouldn’t have to pay for if you’re not at fault.

Our legal team can go over the details of your case to determine if the dog owner was indeed at fault. During our free and confidential consultation, we’ll help prove liability. Ideally, the dog owner will be willing to work with us to offer a fair solution. However, sometimes legal pressure is necessary to get the other party to comply.
