General Considerations
Los Angeles County has an online portal to report dog bite attacks. Click on this link to fill out a form. If you find yourself in an emergency situation, call 911 and report the incident to obtain help from first responders. If you call your local facility after hours, you will be routed to the nearest dispatch office for help. If you are attacked, you need to make sure that you obtain proper medical attention from a Los Angeles County Dog Bite Attorney so that you can protect yourself from further injury and so that you can protect your legal rights.
