Homeowner insurance coverage for animal bite victims
Dog bites claims may be covered by homeowners' insurance policies. Whether the owner of the dog was covered by insurance will make a difference in how much you can recover for your damages, including medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, long-term care needs, or surgery. Our firm is experienced in the investigation of dog bite claims in California and handle cases involving puncture wounds, scarring, infections, facial disfigurement and injuries to children.
Injuries to children and the elderly
Children and the elderly are often the most vulnerable to dog bite injuries. The elderly are often unable to fend off animals, and children are very trusting of strange dogs. We are experienced in aggressively pursuing claims on behalf of elderly or children victims. We will begin an immediate investigation, collect all necessary evidence, identify all responsible persons and aggressively pursue maximum recovery for the victims and families of dog bites.
