Frequently Asked Questions

1Who is responsible for a dog bite injury in California?
California has one of the strongest dog bite laws in the country, holding dog owners strictly liable when their dog bites someone in a public place or while the victim is lawfully on private property. This means that, in many cases, the injured person does not have to prove the owner knew the dog was dangerous or had bitten someone before. At Gor & Associates, our California dog bite attorneys carefully evaluate every case to determine liability and pursue compensation for victims injured because of a negligent dog owner. We proudly represent clients throughout Glendale, Los Angeles, Orange County, Laguna Hills, Fresno, and surrounding California communities.
2What compensation can I recover after a dog bite injury?
A serious dog bite can result in far more than immediate medical expenses. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for emergency medical treatment, surgeries, reconstructive procedures, rehabilitation, lost wages, future medical care, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, permanent scarring, and diminished quality of life. Children are especially vulnerable to long-term physical and psychological effects following a dog attack. At Gor & Associates, we work closely with medical professionals and other experts when necessary to fully document your injuries and pursue the maximum compensation available under California law.
3Do I need a dog bite attorney if the insurance company offers a settlement?
Even when an insurance company accepts responsibility, its initial settlement offer may not fully reflect the long-term impact of your injuries. Dog bite claims often involve future medical treatment, permanent scarring, emotional distress, and ongoing rehabilitation that may not be immediately apparent. Before accepting any settlement, it's important to understand the full value of your claim. At Gor & Associates, our experienced California dog bite lawyers negotiate directly with insurance companies, protect your legal rights, and prepare every case as though it may proceed to trial if necessary. Our goal is to help you recover the full compensation you deserve so you can focus on healing and moving forward.
