How it works
Step 1
Free case review
We listen to what happened, look at the paperwork you already have, and tell you plainly whether there is a claim worth bringing.

Evidence before it disappears
Camera footage, scene conditions and witness memories fade quickly. We send preservation demands and gather the record early.
Step 3
Medical care and documentation
We help you get treatment, including care on a lien if you have no health coverage, and make sure the record reflects the full extent of your injuries.
Step 4
Demand, negotiation, and suit if needed

Frequently asked questions
Do I have to prove the dog was dangerous before?+
Usually not. California Civil Code section 3342 imposes strict liability on owners for bites that happen in a public place or where the person was lawfully present, whether or not the dog had bitten before.
Who pays for a dog bite claim?+
Most bite claims are paid through the owner's homeowner or renter insurance policy. In some cases a landlord who knew of a dangerous dog may also be responsible.
What does it cost to hire you?+
Injury cases are handled on a contingency fee. There is no upfront cost and no attorney fee unless we recover for you.
How long do I have to file a claim in California?+
In most California injury cases the deadline is two years from the date of injury. Claims against a government entity generally require a formal claim within six months, so speak with a lawyer early.
What if I was partly at fault?+
California follows comparative negligence. You can still recover even if you share some responsibility. Your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault.
