Nadrich Law Corporation represents dog bite victims, including those injured by aggressive dog breeds such as pit bulls. Our dog bite lawyers help those injured by dog bites recover financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, suffering, loss of earning capacity, wrongful death and more.

If you are a dog bite victim, we will represent you on a contingency fee basis, meaning you will not be charged any fee for legal representation until and unless financial compensation is recovered on your behalf. The only fee you will owe a dog bite attorney at Nadrich Law Corporation is a percentage of any compensation we recover in connection with your dog bite injuries.

Sometimes those who we file dog bite claims for can’t afford medical treatment, so we get these victims of dog attacks to doctors who treat them without charging them for treatment until their case is over.

If you’re a victim of a dog attack, you need experienced dog bite attorneys on your side, and we have over 55 years of combined experience holding dog owners accountable for their dogs’ actions, having recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for our clients.

Call us today for a free consultation if you or a loved one was injured or killed by a dog bite. We can help you recover financial compensation from a dog owner or a dog owner’s insurance company by filing a dog bite claim or dog bite lawsuit on your behalf.

Who Is Responsible for Dog Bites in California? The Dog Owner?

In California, the owner of the dog is usually financially liable for dog bites whether or not their negligence caused the dog bite due to the legal concept known as strict liability. This means that, unlike in some states, it doesn’t need to be shown that a dog owner had prior knowledge of a dog’s aggressive tendencies. In most cases, the dog owner is liable for any bites caused by their dog regardless if those bites were the result of their negligence.

There are certain exceptions to this, though, such as when trespassers are bitten, and such as when people are bitten by police or military dogs who are doing their job.

There are even some rare circumstances where trespassers bitten by dogs can hold dog owners liable by proving that the dog owners’ negligence contributed to the dog bite.

The best way to find out who is liable for your dog bite is to call us today for a free consultation. We can perform a thorough investigation of your case to determine who is liable for your dog bite.

If you were bitten by the dog of a friend or family member, don’t worry – in almost all of our cases, the dog bite victim is paid by an insurance company, not the dog owners themselves.

What Should I Do After Being Bitten by a Dog?

A dog bite can be a hectic and violent event – it can often involve multiple dogs attacking. When victims survive attacks, they often end up with crush injuries, scratches or puncture wounds. When dogs aren’t up-to-date on their vaccinations, dog bite victims might need rabies shots or additional treatments in order to avoid infections. Dog bites’ puncture wounds can cause a lot of pain and take a long time to heal.

The most critical thing to do after being bitten by a dog is to seek immediate medical attention. Your prognosis may be better if your doctor treats you more quickly. Then, call an experienced dog bite lawyer at Nadrich Law Corporation for a free consultation. We can help you seek financial compensation. The consultations we provide are always confidential and free. Remember, you won’t owe us a fee if we don’t win your case. Call us today.
