California Law Protects Dog Bite Victims.

California law generally holds dog owners strictly liable when their dog bites someone who is in a public place or lawfully on private property. A victim does not have to prove that the dog had bitten someone before or that the owner knew the dog was dangerous.

Central Law Firm investigates both liability and the full extent of the injuries caused by the attack. That may include medical treatment, scarring or disfigurement, future care, emotional distress, lost income, and the effect the injury has on everyday life.

Compensation may be available through a homeowner's, renter's, or other applicable insurance policy, depending on the circumstances and available coverage. We identify potential sources of recovery and pursue the compensation supported by the evidence.

★★★★★

The team at Central Law is not only friendly and informative, they were able to help me out with my claim. My insurance company had initially denied responsibility. The team took care of everything for me and kept me in the loop every step of the way.

I write demand letters for several law firms, including Central Law Firm and can tell you 1st hand how well the claims are put together and presented for settlement. The case managers take time with each file and client and ask/present all quality of life information to the adjusters in order to secure the highest settlement amount possible.
