When a dog bites someone, the victim may be able to sue the owner for damages and seek compensation for medical expenses and other losses.

The Baum Law Firm has helped many victims of dog bites recover their losses and obtain justice in Palm Desert courts. Our Palm Desert Dog Bite Lawyers are experienced in all types of dog bite cases: aggressive dogs such as pit bulls, German shepherds, and Rottweilers; non-aggressive dogs such as golden retrievers; and dogs that attack people without warning, such as Anatolian shepherds and pugs.

It is a tragic reality that dog bites are one of the leading causes of death for children and adults. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly one in four people who die from any injury or disease in the United States are victims of dog attacks.

In California, it is illegal for anyone to injure another person with dogs (or other animals) in public places such as parks, beaches and streets for any reason other than hunting or training the animal for such activities. However, there are exceptions to this rule when dogs are used as service animals and guide dogs who are under the control of their handler while in public places.

We handle all types of cases involving dogs but our main area of practice includes defending clients against claims for personal injury caused by dangerous dogs (also known as “vicious dogs”). This includes cases where the owner did not properly control their animal or failed to prevent them from attacking someone else.
