55+ Years Experience Representing California Dog Bite Victims

Dog bites or bites from any other animals can result in serious injuries to children and adults alike. While dogs are wonderful pets, any breed can turn vicious and attack without provocation. Injuries from dog attacks can have serious consequences beyond “just” the physical bite, not only do bite wounds sometimes become infected – which can be substantially more serious than the bite/attack itself – but they often result in permanent and unsightly physical scars. Furthermore, the generally scary nature of dog attacks regularly results in victims suffering mental and emotional trauma that is “unseen.” Having represented well over 100 victims of animal attacks, The Tomalas Law Firm has extensive experience and knowledge to ensure that victims of these attacks receive the medical treatment and mental health care they need to recover – both physically and mentally/emotionally – and to maximize the financial recovery they are entitled to receive as compensation for their injuries.

Dog attacks & animal bites can result in a wide range of injuries

Some common injuries that can result from a dog bite include:

  • Puncture wounds: These are small, deep holes in the skin that can be caused by a dog’s teeth. They can easily become infected and may require medical attention.
  • Lacerations: These are deep cuts or tears in the skin that may require stitches to heal.
  • Mental/Emotional trauma: A dog bite can be a traumatic experience, particularly for children, and may lead to emotional distress and anxiety.
  • Infections: Dog bites can easily become infected due to the bacteria in a dog’s mouth, which can cause serious illnesses like tetanus and rabies.
  • Fractures: A dog bite can cause bone fractures, particularly in the hands and fingers, which may require surgery to repair.
  • Nerve damage: A dog bite can cause nerve damage, leading to pain, numbness, or loss of sensation in the affected area.
  • If you or a loved one have been injured as a result of a dog bite or animal attack, you seek immediate medical attention and then contact the experienced personal injury attorneys at The Tomalas Law Firm to discuss your legal rights. Contact us before speaking to an insurance company!
