San Diego Dog Bite Attorney
Fighting For Dog Bite Injury Victims in California
There are approximately 77.5 million owned dogs in the United States. Unfortunately, dog bites are a common injury that can result in serious or life-threatening injuries. Dogs are often considered man’s best friend, but not all pet owners are responsible dog owners and not all dogs are warm and welcoming to outsiders. When a dog is not properly trained or socialized, it can become protective and aggressive.
Being attacked by a dog can be an extremely traumatic experience and often leads to injuries and scarring that can last a lifetime. In California, dog owners are strictly liable for their dogs’ actions. At Leigh Law Firm, our highly skilled dog bite lawyer in San Diego can help you fight for the compensation you are owed after being attacked by an animal.

What to Do After a Dog Bite
It is very common after a dog bite incident for the owner to deny liability. Many people consider their dogs to be a member of the family, and most owners do not believe that their dogs can be aggressive or vicious. It will be up to you and your attorney to take action in court and make sure the dog owner takes responsibility for what happened.
If you have been bitten by a dog, it is important to:
- Seek prompt medical attention
- Get the dog owner’s information
- Get any witnesses’ information
- Take photos of injuries
