Dog Bite Lawyer Burbank

The reality of dog attacks is more serious than most people realize. Using data from across California and our years of experience, here is what you are up against:

1. California is #1 for Bites: California consistently leads the nation in the number of dog bite insurance claims.
2. Homeowners Insurance Pays: Most settlements come from the owner’s insurance, not their personal bank account. You aren’t “suing a neighbor”—you’re making a claim against their policy.
3. Strict Liability is Automatic: There is no “one-bite rule” in Burbank. If the dog bites you in public or while you are lawfully on private property, the owner is liable.
4. Infections are Costly: 20% of dog bites result in infection, often requiring expensive antibiotics or hospital stays.
5. Scarring is a Lifetime Issue: Facial bites often require multiple rounds of plastic surgery.
6. Children are Most at Risk: Kids are the most frequent victims and often suffer the most severe facial injuries.
7. Mental Trauma is Real: PTSD and a lifelong fear of dogs are compensable damages in a legal claim.
8. Lost Wages are Recoverable: If you missed work at Disney, Warner Bros., or any local Burbank business due to your injury, we fight to get that money back.
9. The Two-Year Clock: You generally have only two years from the date of the bite to file a lawsuit in California.
10. Lawyers Get Better Results: On average, victims with legal representation receive significantly higher settlements than those who try to handle it alone.
