We’ve all read the papers. We’ve seen the news. We know that a growing number of people (especially children) are attacked by dogs each year—often suffering gruesome injuries that require expensive medical treatment. Unfortunately, some victims of dog attacks are not so lucky and their loved ones are left behind to deal with a complicated wrongful death suit along with their grief. At The Law Offices of Maurice B. Smith, we have extensive experience litigating dog bite claims and we will fight hard to help you receive the compensation you need and deserve.

Dog Bites and Strict Liability

After a dog bite attack, it matters little what dog breed bites most often, why the dog attacked, when the dog bit, or whether it was a trained attack dog. Under California dog bite law, the dog’s owner may be responsible under a “strict liability” rule. Under these laws, you may be able to receive monetary compensation for your medical expenses, lost wages and/or earning potential, and pain and suffering with the help of a trained dog bite lawyer.

Treatment of Dog Bites

Dog bites and dog attacks seem to come out of nowhere and leave behind dangerous wounds and punctures that can lead to serious health issues if not immediately attended to by a physician. If you or your child sustains a puncture wound during a dog bite attack, report his or her injury to Animal Control and seek immediate medical attention.  Often times, dog bites can result in permanent scarring and, when appropriate, our office will refer you to a qualified plastic surgeon for evaluation.
