Bitten or attacked by a dog in Los Angeles? A dog attack can mean surgery, permanent scarring, and lasting fear — especially for a child. California’s estado de responsabilidad estricta law is on your side, and our dog bite lawyers use it to win the full compensation you deserve.
Dog attacks happen across Downtown LA — at green spaces like Pershing Square, Grand Hope Park, Vista Hermosa, and the nearby Los Angeles State Historic Park, on Downtown sidewalks, and inside the high-rises and apartment buildings of the Financial District and Arts District. The injuries can be severe and traumatic. Our office is right here on Flower Street in DTLA, and we know how to deal with homeowners, renters, and their insurance companies to recover what victims are owed.
Can’t come in after an attack? We’ll meet by phone or video, or visit you at home or in the hospital.

Dog attacks cause injuries that keep costing long after the wound closes — deep puncture wounds, nerve damage, infection, and disfiguring scars that may need plastic surgery. Children are bitten on the face and head far more often than adults. Our dog bite attorneys pursue full compensation for:
Insurers often try to minimize these claims or blame the victim for provoking the animal. We counter that with medical documentation and fight for the full value, visible and invisible.
