Petco Injury Lawyer

Millions of personal injury victims each year suffer a slip and fall incident that can leave them with anything from minor bruises to traumatic brain injury or life-threatening injuries. If your injuries are severe, it is clear that you need to call 911 and wait for emergency medical care to arrive. However, even when the injuries appear minor, it is equally as crucial to seek a medical evaluation to ensure no masked injuries.

In addition, a few steps should also be taken to ensure you have all the essential information you might need if filing a lawsuit becomes necessary. In the case of a minor injury, you can gather the information yourself. Or if your injuries are severe, ask a family member or friend to assist you in gathering the following information:

• The names and contact information of witnesses to the fall
• The name and contact information of the store manager
• A copy of any incident report completed by the store staff
• Photos of the area where you feel and any issues such as moisture on the floor or damaged floor surface that contributed to the hazardous conditions
• Pictures of your injuries immediately after the fall

All of this information will be very helpful when you contact DTLA Law Group for a free consultation to discuss your injuries and the legal merit of your case.

As a pet owner, you might be very interested in meeting other pet owners and their animals when shopping at Petco. In most cases, the animals are docile and appreciate the added attention. However, some pets can become overwhelmed with the new surroundings, all the attention, and strange people approaching them. This added stress on dogs can typically result in the dog snapping, lashing out, or biting a nearby person.

If you have suffered a dog bite at Petco, there is some very critical information you need to gather. If the injury is severe, call 911 to ensure you get the immediate medical care required to protect your health. However, if the bite wound appears minor, you can gather this essential information before seeking a medical evaluation of your injury.

• The name and contact information of the dog owner
• The name of the animal and contact information for its vet
• The names and contact information of any witnesses to the bite incident and a written statement if they are willing to provide it.
• A photo of the dog
• Pictures of your injuries immediately after the bite
• The name and contact information for the store manager and a copy of the store incident report

Regardless of the severity of the dog bite, seek a complete medical evaluation for your health and safety. Dogs’ mouths contain many germs and bacteria that are harmful to humans. Even a tiny puncture wound can result in strep, staph, blood, or bone infection that will become very painful and even life-threatening without proper medical care.

After seeing a doctor to evaluate your injuries, contact DTLA Law Group to schedule a free consultation with a Petco injury lawyer. Our staff is here 24/7 to ensure that you have a reliable resource to answer all your legal questions related to a slip and fall, dog bite, or other injury suffered at a Petco store in California.

In California, the Statute of Limitations on most personal injury claims is two years from the date of the injury. Therefore, if your claim is not filed with the court system by the second anniversary of the injury, the claim is likely to be denied. However, you are not obligated to wait that long to file your lawsuit. The expert personal injury lawyers at DTLA Law Group will help you understand any exceptions to the statute that could apply to your case and why they might be advantageous to you. In addition, they can help you determine when it is in your best interest to file your claim.

There is no reliable way to determine how long it will take for any case to make its way through the court system. The severity of your injuries, the actions of the defendant, and even the court’s workload will all impact the time required to complete the case and secure your compensation. So filing sooner than the two-year time limit can benefit many personal injury victims.

Most lawsuits’ value is based on the actual expenses and losses of the victim. For example, in the case of a slip and fall or dog bite injury sustained at a Petco store, typically, the most significant portion of the claim is the cost of medical care to treat the injuries. The second largest amount is likely to be your lost wages if you cannot work while healing from the injuries. Other amounts added to the total of the claim can include the value of damaged or destroyed property and your legal fees to file the lawsuit. The team at DTLA Law Group will assist you in compiling all the expenses you incurred due to your injuries to determine the amount of your lawsuit. In some cases, a dollar amount can be added to compensate you for the pain and suffering you endure due to your injuries, treatment, and healing.
