Dog attacks can cause both physical injuries and lasting emotional trauma, especially for children. California has strict liability for dog bites, meaning owners are responsible even if the dog never bit before. Nevada requires proof of negligence. Our attorneys handle all types of animal attack cases, from minor bites to severe maulings. We investigate the dog’s history, the owner’s knowledge of any prior aggression, and whether local leash laws were violated. Insurance companies often try to minimize these claims – we fight to ensure all your medical costs, reconstructive surgery needs, and emotional trauma are fully compensated. For children especially, we consider future counseling needs and any permanent scarring or disfigurement.
In California, owners are still liable. In Nevada, we'd need to prove they knew or should have known of the danger.
