Murrieta Dog Bite Lawyers
Lawyers for Victims of Animal Attacks in Riverside County, CA
While dogs are typically considered sweet, affectionate, and friendly companions, accidents happen, and people can end up severely injured after a bite or attack. Victims of dog bites are often children, and the resulting injuries can be devastating. Dog bites and other animal attacks may result in permanent scarring, disfigurement, and emotional distress. If you or a loved one sustained serious wounds from a dog bite or attack, an experienced legal team may be able to help. Dog bite injury victims may be eligible to receive financial compensation for their medical bills, loss of wages, pain and suffering, and any permanent injuries.
Maineri Law Firm is a dedicated legal team that can help clients secure necessary medical treatment, obtain evidence from the scene of the attack, and negotiate for a fair settlement.
Understanding California Animal Attack Laws
California law has provisions in place to help those who have been injured due to dog bites and other animal attacks, including the principle of strict liability. In California, the animal owner or the party responsible for the animal is liable for injuries that arise from an attack or dog bite. Strict liability allows the victim to collect compensation without proving that the owner was acting negligently.
While strict liability helps to protect the rights of animal attack victims, compensation is not guaranteed. For instance, if the injured party was trespassing or provoking the animal when the attack occurred, they may not be able to receive compensatory damages. It is also important to note that the injuries must be substantial enough to result in measurable losses.
Being attacked by an animal can be a traumatic experience. Not only do victims sustain physical wounds from a dog bite, including punctures and lacerations, but it often takes substantial time for them to recover emotionally. Maineri Law Firm is here to ensure that victims of such attacks are properly taken care of, and we fight to make sure their legal rights are protected.
