The California Dog Bite Lawyers at KJT Law Group Are Highly Accomplished

You are the one who chooses your lawyer, so why not make the right choice? Do not settle for an attorney or firm that lacks a proven track record, impressive credentials, a reputation for treating clients well, or any of the other criteria that make a lawyer worthy of your trust.

The California dog bite attorneys at KJT Law Group have earned our clients’ trust in many ways, which include:

More Than $100 Million Recovered (and Counting)

Some law firms refer to their “results,” yet a closer look reveals relatively modest recoveries for clients. KJT Law Group has delivered truly life-changing settlements and verdicts for our clients in a relatively short period of time—more than $100 million, to be precise.

These kinds of results don’t happen by accident, but instead result from:

Our attorneys’ high-level education and training
Our willingness to invest heavily in clients’ cases (as they say, it takes money to make money)
Our tireless preparation for settlement negotiations and trial
Our personal connections with clients, which motivate us to secure as much compensation as possible for them

We employ trial lawyers who are fearless. When insurance companies don’t offer fair settlements, we don’t hesitate in charting a legal course for our clients.

More Than 10 Years of Experience Handling California Dog Bite Cases

KJT Law Group has fought for our clients for more than ten years. While a decade-plus of experience is significant, it also makes our nine-figure total recoveries all the more impressive.

Because we choose our lawyers carefully, offer robust training, and handle many high-stakes cases, we have developed a formidable legal operation in only 10 years in business.

Treating Every Client Like They’re Our Only Client

You might think that a firm with the resources and case results like ours would have a “big firm” feel. While we certainly have big-firm resources, we also:

Foster a family-like atmosphere for our staff and clients alike
Always meet clients on their level—it’s your case, we’re just here to help
Tailor our strategies and approaches to each specific client
Fight for every client like their case is our only priority

We employ enough capable attorneys so that every client can have a close relationship with their California animal bite lawyer. From start to finish, you’ll feel how much KJT Law Group cares for you.

Providing a Legal Team, Not Just an Attorney

While your California dog bite lawyer will take the lead on your case, they will have a team around them contributing in various ways. From paralegals drafting and filing documents to support staff ensuring you get prompt answers, we believe that teamwork is essential to delivering impressive legal results.

Our team does not mess around, waste time, or spin their wheels. We roll up our sleeves, go to work, and deliver results for clients injured by aggressive dogs. Call KJT Law Group today for your free, no-obligation consultation about hiring a California dog bite attorney.

How Our California Dog Attack Lawyers Hold Owners Accountable (and Cover Our Clients’ Damages)

We want you to leave your case to us. So that you understand how significant our help will be, you should know that your California dog bite lawyer will:

Prove Fault for the Dog Bite

There are many ways to prove fault for a dog bite, and available evidence tends to vary from case to case. Some evidence we are ready to collect for you includes:

Photographs of any evidence of negligence (like a fence that is riddled with holes where a dog can escape)
Witness testimony about how the bite happened
Expert testimony about how liable parties endangered you
A reconstruction of the circumstances that led you to being bitten

Along with proving fault, our team will determine who is liable for the cost of your losses. The dog owner and their insurance provider are most likely liable for your losses.

Document How the Dog Bite Has Affected Your Life

Lawyers for dog bite victims must secure any medical records, mental health professionals’ testimony, income statements, and other evidence of damages. We collaborate with doctors, therapists, economists, and all other experts whose insights and services may enhance your case.

Make Our Settlement Demands

Your attorney will present documentation of your losses and our calculation of those losses’ value to liable parties. Often, we present these demands to insurance companies.

File Any Necessary Lawsuit

The lawyers at KJT Law Group don’t expect any dog bite case to be easy. We are prepared for:

The dog owner to blame you for being bitten
The dog owner’s insurance company to deny your claim
Liable parties to undervalue your bite-related losses
A host of other bad-faith tactics

We are also ready to negotiate aggressively for you. However, if any liable insurer, dog owner, or other party is determined not to pay what they owe, we can file a lawsuit on your behalf and take your case to court.

Manage Every Other Detail of Your Dog Bite Case in California

When you hire KJT Law Group, your case-related concerns can fall away. We take care of everything, and even go beyond the details of your case.

Our law firm is grateful for our clients’ trust, and we will reward yours in spades.

Some Common Defenses Negligent Dog Owners Use

Our attorneys often hear liable parties defend their actions by stating that:

They posted a “beware of dog” sign: Posting a sign does not absolve a dog owner of negligence. If they had a sign but their fence had a massive hole in it, they are still responsible for a resulting attack.
You provoked the attack: Victim-blaming is unfortunately common in dog-bite cases. This is typically not an effective defense, especially when there is proof of the dog owner’s negligence.
You were trespassing: While trespassing may sometimes be a viable defense for a dog owner, we will work to establish that you were on the property legally.
Their dog isn’t aggressive and has never shown signs of aggression: This is not a defense to dog bite claims in California. Dog owners are strictly liable for any injuries their dogs cause when they bite someone, regardless of whether their dog has a history of aggressive behavior.

In 10-plus years serving dog bite victims, we have heard seemingly countless defenses. We always rely on the facts and evidence to overcome these attempts to avoid liability for negligence.

Your Attorney Will Fight for Full Financial Coverage of Your Bite-Related Damages

We often find that dog bite victims suffer:

Physical pain
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Medical expenses
Mental health counseling
Lost income and other professional damages
Scarring and disfigurement
Other economic and non-economic damages

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) explains that infection is an urgent concern when you suffer a dog bite. Rabies is another concern. If you were bitten by an unvaccinated dog, you may need rabies treatment. This can cost several thousand dollars.

Some do not survive dog bites. If you lost a loved one, please accept our most sincere condolences. We know that no amount of money will bring them back, but a settlement or award could give you the compensation you need to stay afloat while you grieve and determine your next steps. Our California wrongful death attorneys can represent you and your family against a negligent dog owner. Whatever harm you’ve endured, we want to hear from you.

We Fight for You at No Upfront or Out-of-Pocket Cost

KJT Law Group has the utmost compassion for those attacked by dogs. Minimizing your stress may be pivotal to you recovering, so we offer a fee structure in which:

You will not pay KJT Law Group any upfront fees or out-of-pocket costs.
Your California dog bite lawyer will complete every step of your case without receiving any guaranteed payment.
Your attorney will only receive their fee if they secure a settlement or verdict for you.

Let our firm fight for you. Heal from your bite and focus on putting your life back together.
