In California, most personal injury claims must be filed within two years of the injury date, with shorter deadlines for certain circumstances. Consulting an attorney helps confirm deadlines for your situation.
Typically the at-fault party’s liability covers medical costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. An attorney helps ensure these damages are pursued and documented.
While not required, having legal guidance can help you navigate complex rules, insurers, and deadlines and improve your chances of fair compensation.
California follows a fault-based rule; the party responsible for the attack may owe damages. In some cases, multiple parties may share liability.
A neighbor’s dog can still be liable if their pet caused your injuries, and cross-claims can be pursued if shared fault exists.
Damages may include medical costs, lost wages, pain and suffering, and in some cases future medical needs or impairment.
Liability is typically established by evidence of negligence or duty of care, such as failure to control the animal or known dangerous tendencies.
Keep records of medical bills, incident reports, photos, witness contacts, and any correspondence with insurers or animal control.
A DIY approach is possible for very small matters, but a dog bite claim can quickly become complex, so consult with an attorney for guidance.
