Los Angeles Dog Bite Lawyers

Is the Dog Owner Insured?

If you or your child has been bitten or injured by a dog in Los Angeles, it is important to ask the question “Is the dog owner insured?” If the owner of the dog is insured, you should be able to file a claim with his or her homeowner insurance, automobile insurance, renters insurance, dog owner liability insurance or canine liability coverage. Insurance companies have an obligation to investigate and pay insurance claims in a reasonable period of time and to use honest and fair judgment in paying claims.

At El Dabe Law Firm, our dog bite attorneys are accustomed to dealing with insurance companies to get fair settlements and claim payments for dog bite injuries. When an insurance company denies or delays a valid claim, a Los Angeles dog bite lawyer from our firm may be able to negotiate with them and help you receive a valid payment amount. We can also litigate your case in court, should it become necessary. Our aggressive trial techniques have proven to be highly effective in the more difficult dog bite cases we have taken on.

Insurance Recovery for Los Angeles Dog Bite Victims

There are many different kinds of insurance which may cover dog bites. Most often when representing a dog bite victim, we will try to handle the case in a way that will ensure it is covered by the dog owner’s insurance policy, enabling the victim to obtain insurance recovery for medical and property expenses.

If you were attacked on someone else’s property, homeowner or renters insurance may cover the dog bite. If you were attacked in a dog owner’s car, their automobile insurance should cover your injuries. Depending upon the specific circumstances and the location of the attack, a Los Angeles dog bite attorney from our firm will evaluate your case and determine how you can receive payment for your claim.
