Jonathan and his team helped me win my settlement for a very traumatic dog bite case and were very diligent and empathetic with my injuries. Without the WIN team I would not have gotten justice on any level and I’m forever grateful for them! Would recommend highly to anyone needing representation for injuries.

Frequently Asked Questions
Call us today to get answers specific to your case. We offer Free Consultations and only get paid if you win.
Who is legally responsible if a dog bites me in California?
California follows a strict liability law for dog bites. This means the dog’s owner is responsible for injuries caused by their dog, regardless of whether the dog had shown aggression before.
What should I do immediately after a dog bite?
Seek medical attention right away, even for small wounds, to prevent infection. Then, document the bite, take photos, gather witness information, and report the incident to animal control or local authorities.
Can I file a claim if I was bitten on private property?
Yes. As long as you were lawfully on the property (e.g., a guest, delivery worker, or utility provider), the owner can still be held liable for the attack.
What compensation can I recover after a dog bite?
You may recover damages for:
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Pain and suffering
- Scarring or disfigurement
- Emotional trauma (such as PTSD or fear of animals)
What if a dog attacked my child?
Children are often the most vulnerable victims. You may pursue compensation not only for medical costs, but also for long-term emotional distress, therapy, and potential scarring or permanent injuries.
Do I need a lawyer for a dog bite case?
Yes. Dog bite cases often involve negotiations with homeowners’ insurance companies. An attorney helps maximize your compensation and ensures the insurance adjuster doesn’t pressure you into a low settlement.
