Representing the Voice of the Injured

Do You Really Need a Dog Bite Accident Attorney?

In the state of California, we love our dogs. In fact, nearly 40% of California households own at least one dog and are convinced it’s good for their health. They also often consider these pets to be part of the family.

So, what happens when these loving pets suddenly attack? In some cases, dog bite injuries can become so severe that reconstructive surgeries are needed and thousands of dollars in medical bills are sustained. With this said, it’s important to know the statistics behind dog bites and how a dog bite accident attorney can make all the difference in the case of a severe accident.

Dog Bite Statistics and Compensation

California is the #1 state for dog bites in America. According to State Farm, California accounted for 488 of their 3,600 claims, resulting in $18.7 million in payments in 2017 — nearly 14% of all dog-bite injuries in the country that year. In 2018, the average cost paid out for dog bite claims nationwide was $39,017. Furthermore, the average dog bite led to at least one kind of surgery on the injured individual’s side, which accounts for these high compensation statistics.

Given such statistics, having someone on your side will allow you to obtain the highest possible compensation amount for your injuries and allow you to charge the individual responsible for your traumatic experience.

How Can a Dog Bite Accident Attorney Make a Difference?

A dog bite accident attorney knows their way around the California law, can compile all the evidence and information needed to make a strong case, and can help you to focus on your recovery. A dog bite accident attorney, then, is able to do the hard work for you, helping you get what you deserve for your sustained injuries.
