Immediately after a Dog Bites you in Los Angeles, California
Statistics say that at least 1,000 Americans go to the Emergency room each day seeking treatment for Dog Bites. There are so many things that go through a person’s mind after they have been Attacked by a Dog and most times it is not the proper way of dealing with the Dog Bites. People tend to panic in situations where they are unexpectedly attacked or injured. But it is very important that if you were injured in any way by a Dog Bite or Dog Attack that you make every effort to retain certain information such as the description of the animal who bit you. It is important to note if it was a stray or a dog owned by someone.
Information to Gather and Actions to take in your Los Angeles Dog Bite Case
Just as in an Auto Accident in Los Angeles, you should gather specific information from the Dog Owner; if it is possible you should get this at the scene of the Dog Attack. If you are unable to retain this information because of the chaotic scene you should receive a call from their insurance company at which time you should ask for the following information:
- Name of their insurance company and office address
- Insurance company’s telephone number and the claim number for the case
- Name of the Dog Owner or their insured
- The limit of money available for medical expenses
Make sure that you NEVER do the any of the following because it could hurt your lawsuit when that time comes.
DO NOT:
- Talk about money, payments, settling out of court, settlements of any kind, or the extent of your injuries and / or the value of damages
- Agree to setting up a meeting with them
- Write any kind of a memo or letter to the insurance company or to the insured Dog Owner
- Allow anyone other than your relatives or personal lawyer to video record you or photograph your injuries
- Accept or receive any money or things with monetary value
- Discuss who is to blame or accountable for the Los Angeles Dog Attack / Dog Bites
