Consequences of an animal attack
People who have been attacked by a dog or other animal suffer serious injuries that can include:
- Scarring
- Nerve damage
- Infection
- Lacerations
- Amputation
- Emotional trauma
Facial lacerations may require extensive reconstructive surgery
The treatment for a dog bite may include significant reconstructive surgery and scar removal. Children, especially, are more likely to be attacked around the face and require extensive plastic surgery. The cost of this treatment is significant. We can help you obtain the resources you need.
Our approach to dog bites
Although attacks from pit bulls and other so-called dangerous dogs are frequently in the news, any dog can attack. We investigate the circumstances of the attack, the history of the dog, and the medical care required. We consult with medical specialists to identify the best treatment program for the injuries. We identify the best source of compensation for your case, investigating the insurance coverage of the dog owner or the owner’s landlord. We try to obtain a fair settlement, as this will maximize your recovery. However, if a trial is the best way to get you what you need and deserve, our attorneys are ready.
If you or a loved one has suffered a dog bite or other animal attack, contact a Bay Area lawyer right away. Call CMS&C in Walnut Creek, California, at 925-947-1147 for a free initial consultation.
