Legal Question in Personal Injury in California
dog bite pain and suffering, need a judgment based on special circumstances, eg bite on recently operated hip replacement leg necessitated heavy course of antibiotics with attendant gastric consequences, plus exclusion from swim therapy, with puncture wound scab lasting for long period of time. Is it feasible to do an "in pro per" procedure for a tort claim for personal injury?

It is always possible to file a claim for personal injury without an attorney. However, the saying goes that one who represents themselves has a fool for a client.
You case is complicated on the injury side and I would recommend you retain an experienced dog bite attorney. Contact our office for a free consultation. Visit our website at www.lawkuhn.com.
Probably not. The procedural and evidentiary rules alone make it a next to impossible task for someone not properly trained to convince the carrier that there is a risk of a poor outcome for the carrier. That is the only thing that makes a carrier settle - the perception that a bad result might ensue. You should seek counsel.
It is perfectly feaseable to do a personal injury case in pro per, as long as you don't care if you win or lose.
I will come meet with you at no charge and discuss this matter with you fully.
