    Holding Dog Owners Accountable for Attacks in Los Angeles

    California's Strict Liability Dog Bite Law

    California law holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs, even if the dog has never bitten anyone before or shown any aggressive tendencies. This means the owner is responsible even if they were not negligent. You may be entitled to compensation if you've been attacked by a dog. The Law Offices of Sam N. Simantob understands the physical and emotional trauma that dog bites can cause. We are committed to helping victims recover the compensation they deserve.

    Common Injuries from Dog Bites

    Dog bites can result in a range of injuries, including puncture wounds and lacerations, infections (including Rabies), nerve damage, scarring and disfigurement, broken bones, and emotional trauma

    What to Do After a Dog Bite

    After a dog bite, seek medical attention immediately. Even seemingly minor bites can become infected. Prompt medical care is essential for your health and your legal case. Report the bite to animal control and the local police department to create an official record of the incident. Identify the dog and owner.

    Get the owner's contact information and the dog's vaccination records, if possible. Document everything. Take photos of your injuries, the location of the attack, and any visible signs of the dog (e.g., blood on its fur). Contact a lawyer. An experienced attorney can help you navigate the legal process and protect your rights.

    Compensation for Your Injuries and Damages

    You may be entitled to compensation for various damages including medical expenses. We can also pursue lost wages, recovering lost income if you are unable to work due to your injuries. In some cases, you may also receive compensation for property damage, such as for damaged clothing or other personal property.
