Do you think you might have a dog bite injury claim in Anaheim or any of the surrounding communities in Orange County? How do you recover for the present and future medical costs and other expenses associated with a dog bite injury? My name is Rivers Morrell and as a dog bite and personal injury attorney with more than 40 years of experience I can tell you these cases often have a few legal wrinkles. This is why it is important to work with an experienced and proven injury and trial attorney.
Dog bite wounds are often irregular, tearing type wounds which can leave substantial visible scars. This may require plastic surgery to correct and in many cases more than one plastic surgery over time to conceal as much as possible. The majority of dog bite victims are children and the trauma of a dog attack will often have an emotional component which requires the support of a qualified professional counselor. Children may lose their sense of “security” and may resist going to familiar areas such as a bike ride in the neighborhood, a park or even to one of their own sporting or extra-curricular activities.
The owner of the dog is strictly liable for the financial expenses or “damages” associated with a dog bite injury claim in Anaheim and throughout California. These claims are usually covered by the homeowners or renters insurance of the dog owner. Most dog bite victims know the owner of the dog, and it is often a close friend or relative. Our law firm is keenly aware of the importance of underlying relationships and we work to preserve them while we work with the insurance company to seek full and fair compensation for what has happened.
If you, a child or a family member are bitten by a dog and need to file a dog bite injury claim in Anaheim or anywhere in Orange County or Los Angeles we invite you to review the recommendations of our clients and the legal industry and contact us or call (949)305-1400 for a free consultation to learn more about the process and how we can and will help.
