Animal Bites

Southern California Dog Bite and Animal Bite Injury Lawyer

Until it happens to you, you might not take dog bites seriously. The truth is, thousands of people are seriously injured every year because of owners who cannot control their animals. The physical and emotional scars of a serious bite or attack can last a lifetime.

If you or a child in your family has suffered a serious dog bite, your first action should be to seek medical attention. Even minor bites and punctures can be painful and cause serious injuries from muscle damage and infections. Your next action should be to talk to an experienced personal injury litigation attorney.

Successful Litigation for Plaintiffs, Built On Our Insurance Defense Experience

Fernandez & Lauby LLP has been providing effective, successful personal injury litigation services since 1998. Our team of trial attorneys have earned a reputation for providing successful defense representation on behalf of insurance companies throughout Southern California. We use that experience to vigorously protect the rights of the injured, as well. It makes sense to hire a law firm that understands how both sides are likely to prepare their case.

In California, Pet Owners Have Strict Liability for Their Animal's Actions

When a pet owner fails to protect the safety of others, they can become liable for injuries inflicted by their pets, whether the dog is a dangerous breed, or has dog has never bitten anyone before. We help injured parties recover those damages to pay for time missed from work, medical expenses or reconstructive surgery.

We won't push you into taking your case to trial unless it is the only way to protect your rights. We tailor our representation to fit your needs and base our case on the facts, the opportunities available to us and your decisions about compensation and expediting the process.

Backed by significant trial and negotiation experience, our office has built a reliable track record of performance for all kinds of clients.

 A Peer Review of Mr. Edward A. Fernandez's Mediation Services by Filippo Marchino, Esq.:

"What most know is that Mr. Fernandez is a member of the panel for the Redlands Arbitration and Mediation Services, as well as the Inland Valley Justice Center. What most don't know is that Mr. Fernandez spent 5 months resolving a case that nobody (not even the parties) believed could actually be resolved short of a trial on the merits. In a case of complex construction defect, involving complex and detailed matters, Mr. Fernandez skillfully navigated each and every matter, resulting is a win-win situation for both parties, one of which I represented. Can't honestly say how appreciative of his hard work we all are. Hence, it is with no hesitation that I fully endorse Mr. Fernandez!"

A recent client review for Mr. Edward A. Fernandez:

As a principle of ClaimQuest, Inc., a Third Party Administration company, it is my duty to obtain the best legal counsel possible for me clients. It is important to note that my decision on counsel directly reflects on me and my company. My clients and I do not want excuses, we seek cost effective results. Mr Fernandez, his law firm, and associates have a long and proven track record for achieving positive cost effective results many of his peers only talk about.

Mr. Fernandez demonstrates excellent legal skills which are a great asset but it is not the only talent you should seek from your legal council. In addition, he also has a reputation of being a hard, yet fair negotiator which has earned him the respect of his peers and the courts. This blend of rare talents has given Mr. Fernandez the opportunity to obtain the most favorable results while significantly reducing needless time consuming litigation costs in many cases.

In my 30 years of being in this business I have never given my endorsement to any attorneys' before Mr. Fernandez, I can say with confidence that Mr. Fernandez has set the standard for our office and many other associates I do business with.
