Max G. Arnold Handles Bites, Attacks & Other Accidents
Were you bitten by a dog in Chico, Oroville, or any of the surrounding areas? If so, you need a Chico dog bite lawyer from The Law Offices of Max G. Arnold.
A dog is supposed to be man’s best friend. Unfortunately, many dog owners fail to responsibly keep their pets, which can create a hazard to their guests and the general public. Anyone who’s ever been attacked by a dog knows how terrifying the experience can be, and how seriously an out-of-control dog can injure its victim. Aside from the pain of the bite itself, an attack can leave someone with scars, physical limitations, and emotional distress.
What To Do After A Dog Bites You
When you are in this type of situation, there may be many questions you want answers to.
- What should you do?
- What type of insurance will cover your expenses?
- Is the owner at fault for the dog’s attack?
The first thing you should do is read our walk through about dealing with insurers. Dog bites are sometimes covered under a homeowner’s insurance policy, so work on finding out this information as soon as you can.
California has laws in effect that make the owner liable for any injuries that someone sustained as a result of a dog bite. As with many laws that are similar to this one, it can be difficult to determine the effect it will have on your particular case. We suggest that you call one of our dog bite attorneys, so they can help you understand your rights after a dog attack.
Gather All Evidence & Seek Medical Attention
Make sure that you hold onto proof that you were bitten. Photographs that were taken by a witness are the best. You need to find a way to prove that these were taken after you were attacked. What if you don’t have a camera? Do you have any idea of which doctors will not treat you since someone else is at fault? Call The Law Offices of Max G. Arnold and we will help you document your injuries right away. You can trust us to help you with your case.
Seek medical attention as soon as possible. Unless you are positive that the dog was not rabid, you must go to the doctor immediately after you have been bitten. Infections and other complication can be a threat to your life, so keep an eye out for strange symptoms.
Has anyone ever complained about this dog in the past? Your neighbors and the animal control office in the area will be able to provide answers to that question. Would you like us to ask them for you? Call our dog bite attorneys and we will do everything you need while you recuperate.
All of this is often a lot of information to take in for someone who’s just been victimized by a dog attack. Having an experienced Chico dog bite attorney in your corner will make the process much simpler, and give you the edge you need to win your case.
