🐾 What To Do After a Dog Bite

1. Seek Medical Attention Immediately

   • Dog bites can lead to dangerous infections or nerve damage. Get medical care right away.

2. Report the Incident

   • In Nevada, report the bite to Clark County Animal Control. In California or Arizona, report to your local health department or animal control agency to ensure a record is created.

3. Document the Attack

   • Take clear photos of the injuries, the scene, and the dog (if possible).

   • Gather contact info from the dog’s owner and any witnesses.

   • Write down details about what happened while they’re still fresh.

4. Do Not Speak With the Insurance Company

   • The dog owner’s insurer may try to shift blame or offer a low settlement. Let Edvin Law handle all negotiations.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I sue a dog owner even if the dog never bit before?

Yes. All three states allow legal action if the dog owner was negligent or violated leash/local safety laws. California and Arizona also have strict liability laws — meaning owners can be held liable even if the dog had no history of aggression.

2. What if I was bitten in another state?

If the bite occurred in Nevada, California, or Arizona — we’re licensed to represent you directly. If it happened elsewhere, we can refer you to a trusted attorney or help coordinate your case.

3. What compensation can I recover in a dog bite case?

You may be entitled to:

• Medical expenses (past and future)

• Lost wages or inability to work

• Pain, suffering & emotional distress

• Permanent scarring or disfigurement

• Future plastic surgery costs

4. Is there a time limit to file?

Yes. In all three states, you generally have 2 years from the date of the injury. But the sooner you act, the stronger your case will be.

5. Can I sue someone I know, like a friend or family member?

Yes — and you’re usually not going after them personally. Most dog bite claims are paid by homeowners' insurance, not out of the dog owner’s pocket.
