Helping you overcome a Dog Bite Injury.
Bridgewater Law Group guides you through the aftermath of animal injuries, commonly known as “dog bites,” including incidents with horses, reptiles, and birds in California. Despite the state’s leash laws, negligent pet owners and unforeseen circumstances can lead to injuries. In the case of a dog bite, our compassionate team assists in seeking compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and scars resulting from the attack. We’re dedicated to helping you understand the compensation you’re entitled to. It’s crucial to note that claims for bites from a friend’s or neighbor’s dog are typically filed against their renters or homeowners insurance. Despite concerns about the animal’s fate, dogs with no history of aggression rarely face euthanasia. Bridgewater Law Group stands as your ally, ensuring you receive the support and compensation you deserve.
Red Flag warning signs that can precede a dog bite.
Red flags may include growling, stiffening body postures, baring teeth, licking lips, yawning, raised fur, pinned back ears and even seeing the whites of the eyes.
Compassionate help for your dog bite injury.
Bridgewater Law Group takes a thorough and compassionate approach to the frightening experience of dog bite injuries. We investigate, establish liability, and hold responsible parties accountable. Our goal is to determine the full extent of damages, considering immediate and long-term impacts. As advocates, we build strong cases, navigate legal proceedings, and collaborate with specialists to address ongoing needs. If you or a loved one has suffered due to negligence, we prioritize your right to fair compensation, providing dedicated legal support throughout the process.
What Qualifies as a "Bite" According to California Law?
In California, if a dog uses its teeth to grab a victim, it is legally deemed a “bite,” regardless of whether the bite breaks the skin. For instance, if a dog pushes a victim to the ground without causing a visible bite wound, the victim can still pursue damages under the strict liability statute for injuries sustained during the fall.

- Skillful negotiation with insurance companies to ensure victims receive full and fair compensation for their injuries.
Insurance Aspects in Dog Bite Cases
Understanding the particulars of insurance coverage in dog bite cases is vital. These incidents often involve homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policies, which have specific provisions for animal attacks.
Essential Actions After Experiencing a Dog Bite
- Seek immediate medical care for the bite wound.
- Report the incident to local animal control authorities.
- Obtain the dog owner’s contact information and any witness details.
- Capture photographs of the injury and the location where the attack occurred.
