Brawley Dog Bite Injury Lawyer

From a legal aspect, California is considered a strict liability state when considering dog bites; that means the owner of a dog is always liable or responsible for the animal’s actions and should be in control of the dog at all times. Control could mean having the dog on a leash in public, keeping it in a fenced year, or having it indoors. Because the owner must always have control of the animal in some manner, they are held financially responsible for any harm that is caused by the dog, such as a dog bite injury and the costs it creates.

The only two exceptions to the liability for the dog owner involve illegal or inappropriate actions by the person who suffers the dog bite. In the first case, if the person is attacking the dog, abusing it, or trying to harm it, the dog can protect itself by biting the person attempting to harm it. This is what you might see as self-defense from the dog and it is permitted within the law and eliminates the owners liability for any harm caused by the dog to the person trying to harm it.

In the second case, if a person is illegally on private property, such as an intruder or stalker, and the dog bites the person, the owner is absolved of any liability. In this case, the dog is acting in a protective manner and is allowed to bite the person who is illegally on the property. If you suffered injuries due to a dog bite and do not meet any of the criteria described in these two scenarios, you likely have grounds for a Brawley dog bite injury lawsuit. Please reach out to DTLA Law Group today to speak to a dig bite specialist and discover more options to resolve the expenses and losses you face because of the dog bite injuries you sustained.

It is unfortunate that most people are not aware of the risks associated with a dog bite. While they understand that the massive soft tissue damage caused by some dog bites requires immediate medical care, they overlook the possible severity of what looks like a minor dog bite injury. The actual truth is that even a very minor dog bite that leaves only tiny holes in the skin can cause a severe infection or illness that could become life-threatening.

All dogs, including those with all shots and considered to be in perfect health, carry bacteria in their mouths and saliva that is harmless to a canine. However, these bacteria are very dangerous for humans. All it takes is a single tooth to break the skin’s surface and allow these bacteria to enter the human body to put the dog bite victim at risk of severe health issues that include:

• Estafilococo
• Estreptococo
• Celulitis
• Infecciones óseas
• Infecciones de la sangre

Of course, if the dog is a stray, there is also the potential for them to carry rabies and other life-threatening illnesses that are not found in a healthy dog with proper vaccinations. It is critical for all dog bite victims to seek a medical evaluation for any dog bite and take all precautions to protect their health and well-being. Then, contact DTLA Law Group to meet with a Brawley dog bite injury lawyer to discuss your options.

After suffering injuries due to a dog bite, you are sure to be worried about the cost of medical care and other issues like your lost wages if you miss work to get medical treatment. But please understand that there are no predetermined compensation amounts awarded for a dog bite injury lawsuit or any other cases. The court will evaluate the actual losses and expenses incurred by a dog bite injury victim to calculate the compensation awarded to them. Working with your Brawley dog bite injury legal team, you will gather all the documentation needed to confirm the allowable expenses you face because of the dog bite injuries you suffered in Brawley. The items typically used in this process include but are not always limited to:

• The replacement cost of any personal property that was damaged or destroyed in the Brawley dog bite incident
• The cost of all legal services to prepare, file, and litigate your Brawley dog bite injury lawsuit
• Your lost income if the dog bite injuries suffered in Brawley prevent you from working at your regular job until you are fully healed and cleared by a medical professional to return to your normal work duties
• The cost of all current and estimated future medical care required to diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate the dog bite injuries, as well as any emotional counseling or therapy needed for the care of stress and trauma caused by the incident

If the harm you suffered was extensive and will require a lengthy recovery time, you are permitted to seek added compensation for your pain and suffering. However, because this is not a documented amount like a medical bill or lost income, you will need to work with your DTLA Law Group Brawley dog bite injury lawyer to select a fair and reasonable amount for this aspect of the compensation. They often refer to recently completed cases with similar details to ensure they are guiding you to select an amount that will be accepted by the court as reasonable.

Victims of Brawley dog bite injuries have two years from the date of their injuries to file a lawsuit with the court. If the case is not in the hands of the court when the time limit has expired, you will no longer have the right to seek compensation and justice for the losses and expenses created by that particular incident. In addition, there are minimal exceptions that would provide you with added time to file a lawsuit once the time limit has passed. Please reach out to DTLA Law Group to discuss the time remaining to take legal action with a Brawley dog bite injury lawyer.
