What Should I Do After A Dog Bite?

The terror of a dog biting you is extremely disorienting. If you can, try to follow these steps after an attack:

  1. Seek medical attention immediately.
  2. Call the police and have them write a report.
  3. Take pictures of your injuries and the scene of the incident.
  4. Get the name and contact information of the animal owner.
  5. Get the name and contact information of any witnesses.
  6. Do not speak with any insurance providers – contact a lawyer.

We can help you explore your legal options for a premises liability claim. As skillful negotiators, we frequently obtain settlements for our clients without having to go to court. However, we are trial-tested litigators who will also file a personal injury lawsuit if the other party’s insurer is not making a fair offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

At your initial consultation or when you contact us, feel free to ask any questions such as those below.

Is a dog owner responsible for a bite in California?

In most situations, yes. California law holds dog owners responsible for bites that happen in a public place or while the victim is lawfully on private property.

What should I do after a dog bite?

Get medical treatment, report the bite to animal control, take photos of your injuries, and get the dog owner’s contact and insurance information. Then contact an attorney before speaking with an insurance company.

Who pays for a dog bite injury?

Dog bite claims are often covered by the owner’s homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policy. Our team can help you pursue compensation for medical bills, scarring, lost income and pain and suffering.
