TRUST THE TOP DOG BITE INJURY ATTORNEYS IN VISALIA

When it comes to Visalia dog bite injury cases, the trick lies in proving liability. The California dog-bite statute imposes strict liability on the dog owner if the bite occurred in a public place or a private place where the victim had a right to be. These guidelines mean that the victim does not need to prove that the owner was at fault to recover. Some exceptions to the general rule of strict liability concern victims who provoked the dog, trespassed, or committed a felony.

However, the compensation you deserve after suffering a Visalia dog bite injury doesn’t end with liability. Because the law defines negligence as a responsible party’s failure to carefully monitor, restrain or train the dog resulting in injury to another, the victim may also bring a negligence case against third parties such as employers, landlords, or dog breeders. Our Visalia dog bite lawyers can help you determine the best way to address negligence.

OUR VISALIA DOG BITE LAWYERS CAN HELP YOU SETTLE OUT OF COURT

Automatic legal liability can prevent a long, drawn-out claims process when a victim knows the dog owner. If you think this may apply to your case, let our dog bite injury attorneys in Visalia guide you through the proper process immediately. This kind of expeditious action might help prevent further damage already stressed relationships. If homeowner or dog-owner insurance is inadequate, a defendant may pay out of pocket for damages such as:

  • Medical care, including scar reduction
  • Psychological counseling for disfigurement
  • Loss of earnings

If you suffered a dog-bite attack, hire a personal injury lawyer who works diligently for you. Jacob J. Rivas Attorney at Law provides the best strategies for maximizing your damages claim.
