Proven Success. Don't Settle for Less.

California has strict laws that clearly state that pet owners are responsible for their animals' behavior. Every year, thousands of Californians suffer injuries in dog bite accidents, or other pet attacks. At The Law Office of John J. Garvey, III, we take dog bites and animal attacks seriously.

While a dog may be man's best friend, not all dogs can be trusted. Owners are often negligent, either by not properly restraining their animal, or by failing to report its bite history. Any dog can bite and cause serious physical and emotional scars which can last a lifetime, especially to small children. It is important to remember to get the name of the owner and the dog's license number, if possible, so that your medical costs and injury can be fairly compensated. We are a personal injury law firm with over 30 years of experience helping people recover money for their injuries, medical bills, and lost work they suffered because of someone else's negligence. Attorney John J. Garvey, III, is serious about helping to make sure that pet owners are held responsible and your rights are protected.

Dog bites often cause serious muscle and tissue damage, and scarring. There is also concern about diseases dogs can pass to humans through blood transfer. If you or your loved one is bitten by a dog, report the bite and contact San Jose dog bite lawyer John J. Garvey, III. Allow us the opportunity to help you in your recovery of compensation for your injuries.
