Orange County Dog Bite Attorney - injured hand

Being bitten by a dog in Orange County can be a dangerous, life-altering event. It is not uncommon for dog bite victims to become severely injured, often requiring treatment. The injury can be severe enough for the victim to need long-term treatment. It is also common for the victim to be forced to miss work and suffer from financial hardship.

Settling a Dog Bite Case Outside of Court

It is important that as a dog bite victim, you seek any damages that were incurred due to the attack. A claim can either be settled outside of a trial or through the court process. Many people find it beneficial to settle outside of court, some of these benefits include:

  • Quickness – Settling your case outside of a trial will allow for claim to be settled at a much sooner date.
  • Closure – Dealing with a case can bring on a lot of stress and hardship. Settling outside of a trial will allow the victim to put the incident in the past and have closure a lot sooner than if it went to trial.
  • Money sooner – Because the case will be over more quickly, the money owed to the victim will be paid sooner than if it went to trial.
  • Certainty of amount – Settling the claim outside of trial will allow the victim to have more certainty of the amount you will be receiving.
