26+ Years of Experience as a Dog Bite Attorney Serving Yorba Linda, California

Many people who are bitten by a dog recover quickly depending on the severity of the bite. However, large breed dogs can inflict an incredible amount of damage on a person, especially children. In 2013, State Farm had to pay out over $104 Million for about 3,700 claims (an average of roughly $30,000 per claimant). Of those cases, most of the victims were children. In fact, a report from 2017 shows that there’s about 4 dog bites per day in Orange County.

The Paris Firm Wins $100,000 Settlement for Dog Bite Claim

Our Client was at work when she was attacked by a dog which bit her arm so hard that it crushed the bone. After the insurance company purposely delayed, the case settled for the entire homeowners insurance policy the day after we destroyed the defendant in deposition.

Dog attacks can cause serious injuries and other conditions, including:

• Puncture wounds
• Broken bones
• Psychological conditions, including PTSD
• Loss of sight or hearing
• Traumatic brain injury from being knocked down
• Infection, including rabies infection
• Scarring

Injuries to the face, arms, hands, and legs are common. Serious dog bites can require multiple surgeries, including plastic surgery, to repair the damage.

Dog Owners Are Liable for Injuries Caused by Their Dog

The state of California supports dog bite victims by requiring pet owners to be responsible for their actions. California holds dog owners strictly liable for damages their dogs cause. In a dog bite injury claim, we need to prove only that:

• The dog bit and injured you
• The defendant owned the dog
• You were in a public place or lawfully on private property when the dog bite occurred

It doesn’t matter if the owner had any knowledge that the dog was dangerous, whether the dog had bitten anyone previously, or if the dog that bit you was of a known risky breed. Dog owners and/or those who were caring for the dog at the time of the attack are responsible for damages.
