Investigators Begin Identifying Men Suspected of Assaulting Disabled Women

Oakland Dog Bite Injury Lawyers

Hundreds of thousands of innocent adults and children are seriously injured when they are bitten by dogs or attacked by animals every year. If you are the victim of a dog bite, dog attack or any other animal attack, you have legal rights to be compensated for your injuries. The Oakland dog bite attorneys at Estey & Bomberger have a combined 70 years of experience handling dog bite cases. We know how to present a compelling case to insurance companies and help victims obtain the maximum compensation for your physical injuries, scarring and disability, lost earnings and emotional pain and suffering.

Dog Bites & Animal Attacks

The most common type of animal attack is a dog bite. While only about two dozen people die of dog bite injuries, more than 800,000 people are treated for dog bite injuries every year. Injuries can include cuts and abrasions, lacerations, broken fingers and bones, eye injuries, facial injuries, infections, puncture injuries, and rabies. Other types of animal attack injuries may involve cat bites, snakebites, lizard bites, exotic bird attacks and monkey attacks. While these types of attacks are less common than dog bites, they can result in very serious injury.

Compensation for Dog Bite Injuries

Victims of dog bites have the right to seek compensation for their injuries. The dog owner’s homeowner’s insurance policy will typically cover injuries from dog bites and animal attacks, and the dog’s owner will not be financially affected. The amount of compensation will vary depending on the extent of medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and future medical care needed, such as plastic surgeries and scar treatments. After a dog bite or animal attack, insurance companies will often immediately offer a settlement. Don’t accept anything until you’ve spoken with an attorney. You may be entitled to much more than the insurance company initially offers.

What to Do If You Have Been Bitten

After a dog bite or animal attack incident, get the name, address and phone number of the dog’s owner if possible. Write a clear description of the dog, whether the dog is wearing a collar with tags. If possible, obtain the dog’s current shot record. Take photos of your injuries and the dog and seek medical treatment. Even if wounds do not initially seem serious, there is always a risk of infection. Finally, contact a personal injury attorney with experience and success handling dog bite injury cases.  An attorney can help you obtain the maximum compensation for you or your child’s injuries.
