Dog bite incidents fall under the umbrella of personal injury claims. Therefore, the two-year statute of limitations filing period applies to virtually all dog bite incidents in the state. This means that the victim of a dog bite or attack only has two years from the incident to file a claim or lawsuit for monetary damages.
If the bite victim fails to bring a timely claim or lawsuit for their injuries, they cannot recover the compensation that they deserve. Therefore, you want to have a knowledgeable Chico dog bite attorney on board in your case as soon as possible after the incident occurs.
In addition to investigating the dog bite incident and gathering the necessary documents to prove your case, your lawyer can file a lawsuit in the court system if the statute of limitations runs short. Even after your lawyer files a lawsuit on your behalf in court, they can still negotiate a favorable settlement offer for you and move your case forward efficiently.
The knowledgeable legal team at Reiner, Slaughter, Mainzer & Frankel can promptly file a claim or lawsuit in your case, thereby safeguarding your right to recover the monetary damages you deserve for your dog bite injuries. We will then zealously advocate on your behalf to help you recover the damages you need.
