The Dog Bite Law Group cares about your safety. So, if you ever suffer an injury resulting from a dog bite or attack, here is what you must do
Be sure to check your injuries. Dog bite wounds can go deep down your skin. So, no matter how minor or major your injury seems, seek medical help as soon as you can. Call 911 if there is persistent bleeding, swelling, and pain. Also, you might need a rabies shot if the dog’s identity cannot be identified.
If you have been injured by a dog bite, and after seeking medical care, you'll want the legal advice a skilled dog bite attorney has to offer. At the Dog Bite Law Group, we will evaluate your case to be sure you get the best possible outcome in your claim.
If the dog is unidentified, file a complaint with the animal control department. If the dog has an owner, who happens to be a friend, try and sort the matter between yourselves. If the owner is a stranger, note every detail about the incident, for it may be necessary when dealing with insurance companies.

Dealing with tough owners and insurance companies can feel overwhelming. The best you can do is file an injury claim with a reputed Alameda dog bite lawyer to avoid complications. Let your chosen attorney handle every aspect of the case and get you the best possible results and what you deserve.
