JACOBS LAW GROUP handles numerous dog attack cases. We can use our best knowledge and experience to represent your case and achieve results. There are approximately 4.7 million dog bites per year nationwide.

Children are most often the victims of serious dog attacks for several reasons. They are active, loud and make unpredictable movements that can scare dogs. And what a child might see as an expression of love - a simple hug- can be perceived as a threat by the animal. It is not necessary for the Plaintiff, in a California case, to prove that the dog was known to be vicious or had a propensity to bite. One bite is alone sufficient to support liability. Under California law, all the Plaintiff (injured person) must prove to recover for a dog bite injury, is:

• The defendant owned the dog
• The dog bit the Plaintiff
• The Plaintiff was lawfully on the premises where the bite took place
• The bite caused the Plaintiff injuries

In a dog attack case it is important to secure evidence as quickly as possible, including the identity of the dog and its owner, photographs of the dog, identity of witnesses, witness statements, and photographs of the injuries and location of the attack.
