Dog Bites and What to Do if You Are Bitten
Dog bites can be deadly, cause serious bodily injuries, and require immediate medical attention – especially for children.
The dog may not have intended to bite the victim, it may have resulted from playtime, or may have been due to dog owner neglect. Most people do not realize dog bite injuries are covered by the owner’s homeowners or renters insurance.
Our experienced attorneys have helped many clients get the support they deserve.
Regardless of the situation, if you are bitten by a dog, we suggest you:
- Call local animal control
- Determine if the dog is current on rabies vaccinations
- Learn if the dog has a history of prior bites
Allen Flatt Ballidis & Leslie at Orange County Women Lawyers Association Meeting
Allen Flatt Ballidis & Leslie recently participated in an Orange County Women Lawyers Association (OCWLA) meeting featuring four inspirational women, who have been trial attorneys for their entire careers – successfully balancing their professional life with their personal family life.
Topics included bias against women litigators, communication skills that make women effective in a court room, and personal stories of what it took to be recognized as a competent first chair during a trial.
We encourage fellow women attorneys to consider becoming a member of OCWLA to gain support and inspiration for both their legal careers and life’s journey!
