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.

Dear Mr. Mankin

First off, I would like to thank you and your team at Fernandez & Lauby LLP for taking my case and representing me through the whole process. As I had told you before, several other law firms would not take my case, stating that I had no case to begin with (Which I knew I did). I was extremely pleased with your services and with you in keeping me well informed during the litigation. With this being my first time going through a process such as this, it was all very confusing at first, but you were there to explain everything, step by step, and eliminated all the confusion. Whenever I needed to contact you I was able to reach you directly or you would return my call in a prompt manner. The two cases in which you represented me were both settled quickly and sufficiently. Should I find any relatives or friend in a similar situation as I was in, I would have no problem referring them to your firm. Thank you again, and the whole staff for all your hard work.

Sincerely,

Client
