Are you searching for an experienced Mission Viejo dog bite injury lawyer? Have you, a family member or a child suffered a dog bite injury in Mission Viejo or any of the surrounding communities in Orange County? Dog bites can often leave irregular wounds which tend to scar due to the tearing nature of a dog attack. These cases often require one or more plastic surgery procedures to repair the visible scar which results from a dog bite. There are many costs associated with the medical care, recovery and the suffering associated with being forced to endure the injuries associated with a dog attack. You need an experienced Mission Viejo dog bite injury lawyer to protect your interests and ensure you receive full and fair compensation for what has happened.
Statistics show most victims of a dog bite injury are children, and the majority of dog bite victims know the owner of the dog quite well. This is important as the owner of the dog is strictly liable for any injuries their pet may cause. These cases are almost always covered by the homeowners insurance or renters insurance of the dog’s owner. These insurance companies always offer the lowest possible amount to settle their cases and the actual past, present and future expenses and financial damages are much higher than the insurance adjuster will acknowledge. This is why it is important to review the recommendations of our clients and the legal industry and contact the Law Firm of Rivers J Morrell or call (949)305-1400 for a free consultation to speak personally with an experienced dog bite injury lawyer.
We understand you may know the dog’s owner quite well and will work to ensure your relationship with that party is preserved while working with the insurance company to resolve the case. We have the experience and skill to place your case before a jury if necessary and this fact raises the risk to the responsible insurance company and the amount we are able to recover for our clients. You only have one opportunity to settle your case with the insurance company and the agreement must reflect every cost you’ve borne to date as well as any future costs associated with plastic surgery and recovery from what has happened.
