Los Angeles Dog Bite Lawyer

Bitten or Attacked? Call for Immediate Legal Help

A dog attack can leave you with more than just physical wounds — it can leave lasting trauma, disfigurement, and a mountain of medical expenses. If you or a loved one has been bitten, you need to act fast and put a legal team on your side that knows how to win.

At The Law Offices of Gerald L. Marcus, we’ve recovered over $450 million for injury victims — and we’re ready to fight for you. Since 1987, our firm has aggressively pursued compensation for thousands of dog bite victims across Los Angeles and Southern California. We don’t settle for low offers. We fight to maximize what you’re owed.

California Dog Bite Law Is On Your Side

In California, dog owners are held to a strict liability standard. That means if their dog bites or attacks someone — even if it’s never shown aggression before — they’re responsible. No excuses. No second chances.

It doesn’t matter if the bite happened on private property, a public sidewalk, or in someone’s home. The law is clear: if a dog injures you, the owner can be held financially liable for everything that follows.

Common Dog Bite Injuries We See

Dog attacks can lead to serious, often permanent damage. We regularly represent clients suffering from:

• Broken bones and fractures

• Severe lacerations, puncture wounds, and nerve damage

• Facial injuries and permanent disfigurement

• Infections and rabies exposure

• Scarring requiring reconstructive or cosmetic surgery

• Emotional trauma and PTSD — especially in children

These are not minor incidents. Dog attacks can change your appearance, your mobility, and your peace of mind forever. We make sure the law holds the owner accountable.

What Can You Recover in a Dog Bite Case?

You may be entitled to compensation for:

• Emergency medical treatment and surgery

• Follow-up care, rehabilitation, and therapy

• Cosmetic and reconstructive procedures

• Lost income and future earning capacity

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional trauma and mental health counseling

• Loss of enjoyment of life

• Permanent disability or scarring

• Wrongful death in fatal attack cases

We don’t just file claims. We build powerful cases backed by medical experts, psychologists, and evidence that forces insurance companies to pay what’s fair — or face us in court.
