San Diego Dog Bite Lawyer

	Dog Bite/Dog Knock Down Injuries Every year, dogs of all sizes and pedigrees are responsible for thousands of serious injuries to persons of all ages. These animals, often required to be on leashes by city codes, bite and seriously injure persons. Other dogs, not leashed, attack persons on foot, on bicycles and in other public areas causing serious physical injury. Mr. Harris, an experienced dog bite lawyer can represent you if you have been attacked or injured by a dog. If a dog bites you, in the law, the owner is “strictly liable” (no need to prove negligence) for your injuries and financial losses. If you are a pedestrian or riding a bike and a dog attacks you and causes you to fall, the owner can be found liable for negligence and be determined to be responsible for your financial and personal injury losses. Home owners’ insurance policies commonly provide coverage for dog bite and dog knock down injuries. Scars are a common result of dog bite injuries. Mr. Harris will consult with medical experts, including plastic surgeons, to determine your medical needs. Very often, scars can be improved with surgery and other dermatological treatments to lessen the affect of long-term scarring. Dog bites are often emotionally traumatic for the victim. Phobias of recurrent attacks are not uncommon. Some victims can even experience depression and an unwillingness to take part in activities, including work activities which involve potential contact with errant animals. If needed, psychologists can help treat symptoms to prevent long term sequelae. Animal and owner identity are an important factor in this type of case. Neighbors can often assist in establishing animal ownership if the identity of the animal owner is uncertain. If you or a loved one have been the victim of a dog bite or dog injury, contact Michael G. Harris as soon as possible for a free consultation.
