If you’ve been the victim of a dog attack, there are three things that dog owner doesn’t want you to know.
1. Homeowner’s Insurance or Renter’s Insurance may Cover Dog Bites and Dog Attacks
The first thing that you should know is that if the dog owner has homeowner’s insurance or renter’s insurance, that could cover them for when their dog attacks somebody and help pay for your medical bills, your lost wages and your pain and suffering.
2. You Are Not Limited to Physical Injuries
The second thing you should know is that you’re entitled to compensation for not only your physical injuries like a bite, but also the emotional injuries including post traumatic stress disorder, particularly if you’re having nightmares or anxiety about being around other dogs or in public places. That’s why it’s so important that you get evaluated by a psychologist or psychiatrist or other mental health professional.
3. You Don’t Have To Be Bitten
The third thing you should know is that the dog owner is responsible. Even if the dog does not bite you. That could include if the dog runs up and knocks you to the ground causing a bone break or severe back pain. Had the dog owner kept their dog under control, that injury would not have happened. My name is John Howell and I’ve represented many dog attack victims throughout California and help get their medical bills paid, lost wages and money for pain and suffering.
