Dog Bites

Skilled Sacramento Personal Injury Lawyer

An owner of a dog is strictly liable for all injuries from a dog bite. The teeth of a vicious dog can cause injuries as serious as any intentional weapon. If you or someone you love has been the victim of a dog bite or injured as the result of another animal attack, come to the Law Office of David A. Asch in Sacramento, California.

For more than 20 years, personal injury attorney David Asch has been providing skilled representation for the victims of negligence. Dangerous dogs should be kept away from people they may harm. In California, when a dog bites a person, the owner is liable for the resulting damage. We can help you obtain the compensation you need to effectively address your injuries.

Dog bites injuries may require extensive plastic surgery to repair skin damage and prevent scarring, and the psychological trauma of a dog bite may be permanent. The recovery time may increase with infections or multiple bites, and some dog bite injuries can be fatal. Whatever injuries you may be facing, we can effectively represent you.

Damages include what it cost to fix you, help you, and make it right. Because dog bites are considered intentional acts, other damages are available. In particular, punitive damages may be available to an injured person. Punitive damages may be available when the tortious conduct rises to a level of extreme indifference to your rights, a level which decent citizens should not have to tolerate. The law provides a message to dog owners who fail to obey the law. Dog owners must respect the law.

Although we recognize financial compensation is an important piece of many personal injury lawsuits, we understand that this may not be your only goal in pursuing litigation. When you come to our offices for your dog bite lawsuit, we will begin by making sure we understand your ultimate goals. Once we understand your goals, we will work with you to craft a legal strategy to meet those goals. At all stages, you will be in control of your legal representation.
