Animal attacks can cause very serious injuries, such as scarring, nerve damage, and infection. In rare and tragic cases, an attack can even result in death. If your loved one was killed by a dog or another vicious animal, you may have a wrongful death claim.

Under California law, a wrongful death claim is a lawsuit brought by the family members of a deceased loved one against the person who is responsible for that death. In the case of an animal attack, the lawsuit would be brought against the animal’s owner.
