Dogs are a major part of the family, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be aware of the risks. Dogs can cause injuries, and they can also be dangerous to children and other pets. If your dog bites someone, or attacks another pet, you may be able to file a claim for compensation for damages such as medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more. At Temecula Car Accident Attorneys, our Murrieta Dog Bite Attorney can help you recover fair compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages you or your family member suffered because of a dog bite or dog attack.

When a dog bites or attacks someone, it's important to understand how the injury happened. Did the accident occur on private property? Was the animal licensed? Did the owner have adequate control over the animal?

If you suffered an injury due to a dog bite or attack while on public property, such as at a park or beach, you may be able to recover monetary damages through civil court proceedings. In addition to compensatory damages for medical expenses related to your injuries and lost wages due to your inability to work due to pain caused by your injuries (among other things), you may also be entitled to punitive damages if you suffer emotional distress as a result of being attacked by an animal owned by someone else.

Our Murrieta Dog Bite Lawyer will help you determine if there is any evidence that can be used in your lawsuit against the owner of the dog who caused your injuries. If there is sufficient evidence that there was negligence on the part of the owner, we may file suit against them for their actions that led up to your injury and damages you suffered from it including pain and suffering
