Get Legal Help from a Dog Bite Attorney in Campbell Now!
There’s a reason police will often use canine officers to subdue suspects. While many dogs are loyal and affectionate and would never dream of harming a human being, this isn’t always so. In the case of law enforcement, all sorts of training techniques are utilized to make sure that an animal’s instinct gets used for the greater good, but that instinct to lash out can cause a catastrophe in the hands of an irresponsible party.
Owners are expected to mitigate an animal’s instinctual drive to attack if such a drive exists, and if that doesn’t happen, that owner needs to be held liable. The Campbell dog bite attorneys of Nagelberg Bernard are the best in the business at making sure that those responsible pay proper restitution to the victims of dog bites.

Did you know that estimates put the rate of fatalities due to dog bites at twenty per year? This might seem small, but it’s also important to consider the estimated 850,000 people per year who get treated at an ER for a bite injury. Cases ranges in severity, certainly, but no matter the level of seriousness, victims always have a right to compensation for things like:
- Medical bills
- Pain and emotional suffering
- Lost income due to an inability to perform work functions
- Numerous other incidental expenses
Many people will shrug off their injuries as minor and not seek proper legal representation. This is a mistake. Even seemingly rote injuries could lead to infection and high medical bills, and only an experienced legal advisor can gain you proper compensation for your trauma.
