5 Vital Steps for a Strong Dog Bite Case
1. Identify the Dog & Owner: You will need to have some kind of evidence proving the identity of the dog that bit you and the identity of its owner. This could be photographs taken at the scene or the testimony of any witnesses to the incident. It is important to understand that under the doctrine of negligent entrustment, a dog’s owner can be held responsible for the injuries caused by their pet even if they were not the person handling or controlling the dog at the time you were bitten.
2. Report the Bite: By reporting the incident to the local animal control authority or Sheriff’s office, you create an official record of the event that your Norco CA dog bite injury attorney can use to help establish liability.
3. Seek Treatment: Immediately following the bite, you should seek medical attention, even if the wound seems relatively minor. Seeking prompt medical treatment helps to create evidence that clearly links the injury to the bite. Do not limit yourself to just getting patched up after the bite–it is highly recommended to have a plastic surgery medical-legal evaluation to establish the potential for disfiguring scars and a psychological evaluation to establish the impact of the dog attack on your mental health.
4. Document the Attack & Recovery: If you are able, you should take as many photos as you can of the scene of the attack, showing how the dog was restrained, where you and the dog were at the time of the attack, etc. Taking photos of your injuries right after the attack and as you heal will also be very helpful for building a strong case. Be sure to document your physical pain as well as emotional distress in a diary to create even more evidence for your attorney to leverage in building your case.
