Dogs are often beloved companions, providing love and loyalty to their owners. However, when a dog bite or attack occurs due to irresponsible ownership or lack of training, the consequences can be severe. Phillips & Pelly’s San Diego dog bite attorneys are here to help you navigate the legal process and secure the compensation you deserve.
Understanding Dog Bite Injuries and Your Rights
In California, dog bite claims are addressed on a strict liability basis, meaning dog owners may be held accountable for any injuries their animals cause, regardless of the dog’s previous behavior. This is particularly important because many dog attacks involve animals owned by friends, neighbors, and acquaintances of the victim. Our San Diego dog bite attorneys will help you understand your rights and pursue the compensation you deserve.
What To Do After a Dog Bite or Animal Attack
If you’ve been injured by an aggressive dog, it is crucial to seek medical attention immediately. San Diego-area hospitals can provide the necessary treatment to prevent infections and promote healing. Collecting information about the dog and its owner, along with documenting your injuries, is essential. Our San Diego dog bite lawyers will gather evidence and build a strong case to support your claim.

You can go with the catchy jingles that you see on TV as I did, and become just another client. Or you can go with a firm that treats you like family, and sets the bar high by fighting for the maximum payment from your injuries. Very impressed and glad I made the switch! Thanks for everything I truly appreciate you.

I worked with Ashley LaFontaine and she was absolutely wonderful in getting me the care I needed. When things with the doctors got hung up she helped get things moving. She was super communicative and kept me in the loop through every step of the process. Set expectations from beginning to end very well and exceed my expectations!

I met Oliver Pelly by happenstance and after I grilled him a couple of times, I decided to hire his firm. After being my initial POC, I began working with Blake Woodhall. Both were standup guys, and Blake kept me in-the-loop the entire time. He was patient when explaining the process and going over details and understanding of my situation and concerns. Everything concluded better than I could have expected, and Blake acted as an excellent buffer to keep everything at bay. I would highly recommend Blake, Oliver and their firm for any auto accident cases.

Going through my accident was a very difficult and emotional experience. The process of choosing the right law firm can be overwhelming. Choosing Phillips and Pelly was the best decision I could have made. They are extremely knowledgeable and I trusted Oliver’s expertise throughout the entire process. He was very responsive. Anytime I would have a question, including nights and weekends, Oliver would get back to me right away. I would recommend Phillips and Pelly for anyone going through a similar situation. They really are the best.

I have enjoyed my experience with this law firm. Alecia Gordon represented me with my case and throughout this entire ordeal has been extremely supportive and understanding of my own lack of experience and knowledge of legal matters. She is not only kind and considerate but very intelligent and professional. The paralegal team also deserve kudos as they were always there to assist and assure me of progress and necessary document completions. All in all, I would highly recommend this firm for personal injury claims.

Matt was very helpful in settling a case for my son that was a passenger in an automobile that crashed into a home. My son suffered cracked ribs, a concussion amongst other injuries. Matt was helpful explaining everything to us as this was a 1st dealing with anything like this for our family. It took time and patience as the other party was reluctant to settle. In the end my son had his ambulance, medical bills and a small amount of recovered monies all paid out. Great man, lawyer and law firm .Highly reccomended
