Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Being sued for dog bite,but child fell on fence-caused injury

A child in our mobile home park said she leaned over our fence & was bit.She required 3 sutures on upper lip.My wife was on the porch & saw the girl running & screaming from down the street and a neighbor heard the scream, looked out her window & also saw the girl run from the same direction.I'm not sure our insurance covers this & have'nt been able to find an attorney willing to help.What can we do? We offered to pay medical but were refused & now have recieved an attorney's letter stating an intent to sue. Please Help!

Your insurance probably will cover this accident. You need to check. If not, you will need to find an attorney in your area to help. There are several ways to find lawyers including on the internet.

If you believe that the child was injured elsewhere than you need to investigate. If you do believe the child was hurt elsewhere than they might be coming after you because you have insurance. Your insurance may cover the accident and if they do they will pay for an attorney. If they do not than you need to hire an attorney to defend yourself. I would be happy to speak with you regarding this incident if your insurance will not cover you. The consultation is free and I help people throughout the state. My toll free number is 877-546-9918 or you may contact me by email at [email protected].
