San Diego Dog Bite Lawyer Case Examples San Diego dog bite lawyer Jeffrey R. Frank represents cases that usually involve someone who is bitten when they were a guest on private property, such as a family gathering or party with friends. Unfortunately, given the proclivities of children and dogs, these often involve children, and the injuries are often serious. Our San Diego dog bite attorneys do their utmost to minimize the strife involved in a lawsuit between family members or friends. It can be difficult to remember for everyone that this is first and foremost a matter between the insurer and the claimant, not the dog owner and claimant. On most occasions, there is no question that the owner feels terrible about the injury inflicted by their pet and as such, the claim should not become a source of personal animosity between family or friends. The dog owner wants to see the claimant receive fair compensation, and the victim only wants what is fairly due to them. While your dog bite lawyer will aggressively represent the interests of the claimant, we will also respect their wishes where they do not want things to become a source of tension between their family or friends. As always, we respect the wishes of our clients as to how they wish to proceed.
In one dog bite case, our client was a child bitten by a friend's dog while he was a guest at their house. He suffered facial scarring and serious emotional trauma. Our
dog bite lawyer settled his claim for a substantial sum that was placed in a structured settlement for his future college education.
In another typical dog bite case, our client, an adult, was sitting at an outdoor café when the dog owner walked past with his dog on a leash. When our client reached down to pet the dog, it bit him repeatedly on the hand and arm, resulting in permanent scarring. Thorough preparation and investigation by his dog bite lawyer, Jeffrey Frank permitted his claim to be settled for a significant sum soon after he completed his medical care and his injuries became permanent and stationary.
