Animal & Dog Bites

If you or someone you love has been injured or attacked by a dog or another animal in San Francisco, Colma, San Mateo, Emeryville, Oakland, South San Francisco, San Jose, Burlingame, Berkeley, Piedmont, Foster City, Daly City, or elsewhere in San Francisco County, Santa Clara County, San Mateo County, Marin County, Alameda County, and Contra Costa County, Velan Law Firm would like to speak to you. Our San Francisco personal injury attorneys represent dog bite accident victims throughout the San Francisco Bay Area.

Each year, over 4.7 million people are attacked by dogs in the United States. One out of six bite attacks is serious enough to warrant medical care. When a person is injured by a dog that belongs to someone else, it is the dog owner—not the dog or the breed of the dog—who is liable for the attack.

Your personal injury compensation will depend on the state where the animal attack occurred. At Velan Law Firm, our San Francisco Bay Area dog bite attorneys can inform you of your rights related to dog and animal attacks in California and help you file a personal injury claim or lawsuit.

In California, the statutes of limitations for filing personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits are very strict. You should contact a personal injury attorney immediately so that you can meet all deadlines for your case. DO NOT talk to any insurance companies before talking to a personal injury lawyer first.

You will only pay for our services if we obtain your recovery. Otherwise, our services are free. Our personal injury attorneys can visit you at home or at the hospital if you are unable to visit our law office.

Call Velan Law Firm at (415) 379-9300 or at—toll-free—(888) 988-7700. You can also contact us online to schedule your FREE consultation with one of our San Francisco dog bite accident lawyers. We would be happy to talk about your legal options with you.
