Los Angeles & Orange County Dog Bite Attorneys

Is the Dog Owner Insured?

If you or your child has been bitten or otherwise injured by a dog, this is an important question to ask. Is the dog owner insured? If so, 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 throughout Los Angeles and Orange County to get fair settlements and claim payments for dog bite injuries. When an insurance company denies or delays a valid claim, our attorneys may be able to negotiate with them and help you receive a valid payment amount. We can also litigate your case in court, if needed. Our aggressive trial techniques have proven effective in the more difficult dog bite cases we take on.

Insurance Recovery for Dog Bite Victims

There are a variety of different kinds of insurance which may cover dog bites. Most often, when our Los Angeles dog bite attorneys represent a victim, we will try to represent the case in such a way as to ensure it is covered by the dog owner’s insurance policy, enabling the victim to get 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 at our firm can evaluate your case and determine how you can receive payment for your claim.
