Other Injuries

Dog Bites

A dog owner in California is responsible when their dog injures someone.  Victims injured by a dog can recover for all harm caused by the bite or attack.  Most dog bite cases are covered by homeowner's  insurance or renter's insurance.  If you or a loved one has been injured by a dog, it is important to hire an experienced dog bite attorney immediately to make sure you get the best possible result from your case. 

Victims of dog bites are entitled to be compensated for the cost of the emergency room, hospital, plastic surgery, psychological counseling and lost wages.  In addition, persons injured by dogs are entitled to monetary compensation for all pain and suffering.   

Defective/Dangerous Products

Where a product is dangerous or defective and a person is injured, all sellers of the product in the distribution chain are responsible.  Everyone from the manufacturer to the store that ultimately sold the product may be held liable.  Product liability law is more inclusive than regular negligence law: if the product is dangerous or defective, and injury results, everyone in the chain of distribution is strictly liable; in other words, they are responsible without the plaintiff having to prove they were negligent. 

Every year, thousands of injuries are caused by dangerous or defective products.  If you or a loved one has been injured by a dangerous product, crucial evidence must be obtained as early as possible to prove your case.  For this and many other reasons, it is important to hire an aggressive, experienced products liability accident lawyer immediately.
