INJURY INDEX

Types of Dog Bite Injuries

Dog attacks cause a wide spectrum of physical and psychological injuries. The type, severity, and permanence of your injuries directly determines the value of your legal claim.
INJURY CATEGORIES

Every Injury Type Has Its Own Legal Value

Our attorneys work with medical specialists to ensure every category of your injury is fully documented, properly valued, and aggressively pursued.

🩹

Facial Scarring & Disfigurement

Attacks to the face produce the highest per-case compensation values in dog bite law. Permanent disfigurement generates significant pain and suffering multipliers above raw medical costs.

Nerve Damage

Deep bites can sever or damage peripheral nerves — causing chronic pain, numbness, and permanent loss of function. Often underdiagnosed and undervalued without specialized legal representation.

🦴

Crush Injuries & Fractures

Large breeds generate sufficient force to fracture bones. Documented fractures provide objective radiographic evidence of injury severity — strongly supporting high settlement values.

🧠

PTSD & Psychological Trauma

Dog attacks cause lasting psychological injuries — PTSD, anxiety, specific phobias — that are fully compensable in California. Requires proper documentation by licensed mental health professionals.

🦠

Infection & Sepsis

Dog bites carry high bacterial infection risk. Untreated infections can become septic — a medical emergency. Infection-related hospitalization significantly increases total compensable damages.

⚖️

Wrongful Death

In the most catastrophic cases, dog attacks result in death. Surviving family members have wrongful death claims for loss of companionship, economic support, and grief under California law.
