Serious Dog Bites
When the Damage Isn’t Just Skin Deep...We Fight for Full Justice
Not all dog bites are minor. Some leave victims with deep lacerations, nerve damage, infections, or permanent disfigurement. These attacks often lead to surgery, long-term trauma, and a lifetime of physical and emotional scars, especially in children. At Ghaffari Law Firm, we’ve seen firsthand how devastating serious dog attacks can be. That’s why we build every case to reflect the true cost of the injury, not just the emergency room visit, but the months and years of recovery that follow.
Because Never Settle isn’t a slogan to us, it’s our legal strategy.
Dog Bite Cases
From facial reconstruction to tendon repair, Ghaffari Law Firm represents victims requiring extensive surgery after dog attacks. Whether the injury happened in a public park, on private property, or in an apartment complex, Ghaffari Law Firm will prove liability and demand the compensation serious injuries require. Insurance companies want you to downplay it, we tell your story.
Emotional Injuries Are Real—and Compensable
Many dog bite victims, especially children, suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), nightmares, and anxiety around animals or public spaces. These invisible injuries are no less devastating. We work with psychologists and mental health professionals to document the lasting emotional harm and fight for compensation that reflects the trauma, not just the stitches.
Surgical Recovery and Long-Term Treatment
Puncture wounds and tearing injuries often require more than stitches. We partner with orthopedic surgeons, trauma specialists, and reconstructive experts to document every stage of care because your pain shouldn’t be minimized.
Scar Revision and Disfigurement Claims
Dog bites to the face, arms, or legs often leave lifelong scars. Scar revision surgery, laser treatment, and cosmetic care may be necessary months or years after the initial attack. We fight for future medical costs and permanent disfigurement damages because your recovery doesn’t always stop when the bleeding does.
We Know the Tactics and We Know How to Beat Them
We know insurers try to avoid high-dollar dog bite settlements. We secure vet records, animal control reports, witness statements, and medical expert opinions to build undeniable, pressure-proof cases. At Ghaffari Law Firm, Never Settle means never letting them get away with less than you deserve.
Dog Bites At Work
Dog Bite Injuries at Work Are Common, And Often Covered Up
If you were delivering packages, servicing a property, or simply doing your job when a dog attacked, you’re not alone. Dog bites are one of the most overlooked workplace hazards, especially for delivery drivers, landscapers, utility workers, and maintenance teams. Workers’ comp may cover basic treatment, but it often falls short on long-term medical care, scarring, and emotional trauma. Worse, dog owners love to blame the victim: “He’s never done that before…” or “You must’ve startled him.”
At Ghaffari Law Firm, we don’t accept excuses, we investigate patterns, prove negligence, and pursue maximum compensation beyond workers’ comp. Because Never Settle means making sure your recovery is complete.
Workers’ Comp Isn’t Enough for Dog Bites
Limited Benefits Leave Workers Undercompensated. Workers’ compensation only covers part of your wages and doesn’t account for scarring, emotional trauma, or future surgeries. If a third party, like a property owner or tenant, put you in a dangerous situation, you may be entitled to additional damages. We’ll help you go beyond the system and hold every liable party accountable.
The “First Time” Lie: We Investigate the Truth
Most Dogs That Bite on the Job Have Done It Before. Dog owners often deny prior aggression or claim the dog was “just scared.” Ghaffari Law Firm digs deeper by reviewing vet records, past complaints, animal control history, and even social media, which often uncovers a clear pattern of dangerous behavior. Don’t let them, we bring facts, not excuses.
Surgery and Recovery From Serious On-the-Job Attacks
We Handle Severe Workplace Dog Bite Injuries. We know these attacks cause deep wounds, crushed tissue, and life-altering injuries. Let Ghaffari Law Firm connect you with the right specialists and demand every dollar it takes to recover.
PTSD and Workplace Trauma
The Mental Toll Is Real, And Compensable.
A dog attack on the job doesn’t just hurt physically, it changes how you feel about your work and your safety. Many victims experience PTSD, flashbacks, or anxiety returning to similar homes or job sites. We work with licensed mental health professionals to document trauma and include it in your claim, because it matters.
We Know Workers’ Comp—and We Know How to Go Beyond It
Strategic Experience in Workers’ Compensation and Third-Party Dog Bite Claims. At Ghaffari Law Firm, we don’t stop where most firms do. We understand the limits of workers’ compensation and we know how to identify and pursue third-party liability when a negligent dog owner or property manager is also to blame. That dual approach is how we’ve helped delivery drivers, contractors, postal workers, and service techs secure far more than what workers’ comp alone can provide.
Dog Bites At Apartments and Parks
No Excuses. No Evasion. Just Relentless Justice.
Whether it happens in a crowded dog park or a poorly managed apartment complex, dog attacks in shared spaces are more common than most people realize and more complicated to pursue. Dog owners often disappear, property managers deny responsibility, and insurers try to pass the blame. Let Ghaffari Law Firm, do the work others won’t.
Ghaffari Law Firm tracks down owners, uncovers hidden insurance policies, and exposes negligence at every level. Because Never Settle means never walking away from the truth no matter how hard it is to find.
Apartment Dog Bites: Renters and Property Owners Can Both Be Liable
In apartment attacks, it’s not just the dog owner who may be at fault. Landlords and property managers who allow aggressive dogs, ignore leash violations, or fail to enforce pet restrictions can be held accountable. The excuse that they often say is they didn't know there they had a dog or didn't have permission, but if they knew and didn't address it... we will find out. We investigate lease agreements, property records, and security footage to show how their negligence created a dangerous environment.
Renters Insurance Can Cover Dog Bite Claims
Most tenants carry renters insurance that includes liability for dog attacks but victims are rarely told. We identify and file claims against renters’ policies, even when the dog owner tries to avoid responsibility. If their negligence caused your injury, we’ll find a path to compensation.
Dog Bites in Parks: Finding the Owner Doesn’t Stop Us
Public parks make dog bite cases harder but not impossible. When the dog owner flees or refuses to cooperate, we gather witness statements, surveillance footage, police and animal control reports, and even canvass social media to identify them.
Premises Liability for Shared Spaces
If a dog bite happened in a poorly maintained park, unfenced apartment lawn, or common area with no posted warnings, the property owner may share liability. We pursue every avenue, HOAs, apartment corporations, even municipal entities, when their failure to maintain a safe space led to harm.
We Never Settle for “We Couldn’t Find Them”
When other firms give up, we double down. Our investigators, legal team, and experts work together to uncover every detail that leads to justice. We don’t accept “no” when it comes to accountability, because Never Settle means never leaving victims without answers.
