Las mascotas se han convertido en un elemento básico de la vida moderna. Ya sea que le gusten los perros, gatos, aves, peces, reptiles o animales exóticos, estos compañeros pueden motivarle a hacer ejercicio, consolarle y convertirlo en miembro de la familia. Sin embargo, las personas a veces olvidan que estas mascotas aún tienen instintos animales, lo que puede dar lugar a situaciones en las que un animal, como un perro, llegue a morder a una persona.

Cuando sufre una pequeña punción o daño significativo por un incidente de mordedura de perro, la experiencia puede ser traumática. Además de lidiar con las facturas médicas y la recuperación física, podría encontrarse enfrentando complicaciones mentales y emocionales, incluyendo pesadillas, ansiedad, fobias, y más.

Lo último que necesita en este tipo de situaciones es una pelea sobre si el dueño del perro es responsable o no de los costos asociados con la mordedura. Desafortunadamente, los dueños pueden tener todo tipo de excusas, incluso culpándolo a usted, la víctima, por el ataque.

¿Qué puede hacer para asegurarse que sus gastos médicos estén cubiertos y se le compensa por el trauma que sufrió? Esto es lo que debe saber para presentar una demanda por daños personales tras una mordedura de perro.

Comprender lo que es la responsabilidad estricta

En algunos estados, usted está obligado a comprobar negligencia por parte del dueño del perro, mientras que otros estados tienen reglas de «una mordedura» que dicen que un propietario puede no ser responsable si no hay antecedentes de mordeduras.

California, sin embargo, opera bajo estándares de «estricta responsabilidad». Esto significa que el dueño de un perro es automáticamente responsable si su perro muerde a alguien, siempre que se cumplan ciertos criterios. Por ejemplo, la víctima debe haber estado en una zona en la que estaba legalmente autorizado a estar y no haber provocado al perro.

Independientemente de si va caminando por la calle en Los Ángeles o si toca el timbre de una puerta. Si un perro lo ataca sin provocación, es probable que el propietario sea responsable de cubrir los costos de lesiones resultantes.

Estatuto de limitaciones

En el estado de California, usted tiene dos años a partir de la fecha del incidente de mordedura de perro para presentar una queja por lesiones personales en la corte. Muchas víctimas primero tratarán de trabajar con los dueños del perro y sus proveedores de seguros para obtener los costos médicos y otros cubiertos.

Si el propietario se opone a su reclamación o el proveedor de seguros le da largas, puede que no tenga más remedio que llevar su demanda a los tribunales. Si presenta una demanda después de que el estatuto de limitaciones haya expirado, es probable que su caso sea desestimado, por lo que es importante conocer sus plazos y buscar la ayuda de un abogado calificado que esté bien informado sobre las leyes del estado de California.

Presentar una demanda

Después de un incidente de mordedura de perro, querrá tomar medidas para solidificar su reclamo, incluyendo la presentación de un informe de policía y buscar atención médica. Es importante documentar lo que sucedió para asegurar la compensación necesaria para cubrir los gastos médicos. Es una buena idea tomar fotografías y recoger las declaraciones de los testigos, de ser posible.

A partir de ahí, puede presentar una demanda ante el proveedor de seguro del propietario del perro. Por lo general, este tipo de responsabilidad está cubierta por la póliza de seguro de un propietario o inquilino. Sin embargo, existen límites a lo que cubrirán estas políticas. La póliza puede cubrir completamente los incidentes que ocurren en la propiedad del propietario, pero solo cubren parcialmente los incidentes que ocurren en otros lugares (si el perro está siendo caminado por el vecindario o escapa del patio, por ejemplo).

Algunas políticas también excluyen ciertas razas de perros que se cree que son agresivas (como pitbulls), y a menudo, solo cubrirán el primer incidente de mordida, por lo que si el perro tiene un historial de mordeduras, no continuarán proporcionando cobertura después del primer pago. Todos estos factores podrían significar que el dueño del perro sea personalmente responsable de los costos, y muchos propietarios no querrán pagar de su bolsillo.

Propietarios de lucha y proveedores de seguros

Si usted presenta una demanda ante un proveedor de seguros y encuentra que la póliza no cubre sus costos o que intentan retrasar y negar su reclamo, es hora de presentar una demanda por lesiones personales en la corte con la ayuda de un abogado calificado y experimentado de Los Angeles.

Cuando se esté recuperando del trauma y las lesiones físicas de una mordedura de perro, lo último que necesita es una batalla judicial sobre quién pagará sus facturas médicas y otros gastos. Necesitará una firma de abogados de confianza que ofrezca atención personalizada y compasiva y tenga la experiencia para asegurar el acuerdo que se merece. Querrá una empresa orientada a los resultados que tenga un historial de éxitos. También es importante trabajar con una compañía que no le cobra comisiones a menos que llegue a un acuerdo o a una victoria.

What Our Clients Say

Honestly can't say enough positive things about the Law Brothers! I got into a severe car accident at the end of 2016 and they've been with me every step of the way ever since. Almost 4 years! I want to thank everyone there especially Caitlyn, Shawn, and Yasmeen. They have been responsive, helpful, and reassuring and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have the legal support that I was able to get along the years. They are super professional and really helped me get through this hardship in my life. I would definitely recommend!!!

Ivonne K.

Last year I contacted your law firm when I got into a car accident. the gentleman that handled my case, his name was Cesar. Cesar was very helpful and compassionate about my situation. He helped me get my car fixed very quickly and was super patient with me. He answered all of my questions and ensured me that everything will be taken care of. Once my case was settled I ended up getting more than I was expecting, which was amazing. I highly recommended Cesar and this law firm to anyone that needs help.

William Charlton

I was a client to the Law Brothers firm for about a year, the staff is really nice and professional. I would get updates on the case status and when I did call I would usually get a call back within 24 hours. I really appreciate the work that was done for me. I got the most out of my settlement and when I called to have a break down of the costs, Genesis was very patient and gave me a break down on all of it. I will definitely recommend this law firm to friends and family, as well as call them in the future if needed (hopefully not soon).

Erendira Landa

I had gotten into an accident and had no idea what to do. Friends and family recommended I get a lawyer since I was not at fault. I found this firm and I was beyond impressed. They handled everything for me from car insurance questions to finding doctors for me to visit. After my accident all I had to do was make appointments with various doctors to help with my pain. I give five stars because this firm went above and beyond and continued to follow up with me. I highly recommend if you are in need of a lawyer to use them.

The team at the Law Brothers we’re amazing! I am not the kind of person to seek legal counsel, but I was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle and the driver’s insurance was avoiding my attempts to get reimbursed. They were able to not only get a settlement that replaced my motorcycle, but they found me physical therapy which was close to my work. Now I am back to where I was physically before the accident and I am able to ride a motorcycle again. They were always responsive to my texts, calls, and emails. They even would systematically check to see how I was healing and if the support they linked me to was satisfactory.

Charles Mortensen

This law firm is a team of miracle workers! The Law Brothers Law Firm saved me from suffering at another law firm from Century City. My case manager Jonathan was able to gather all the details from my accident ( literally within a week! ) and keeping me updated consistenty to keep me at ease. They work diligently and keep at it until your case is completed. I went through a car accident that almost took my life away but thanks to the higher power and the Law Brothers, you won't even hesitate to choose them because I felt trust and integrity throughout my case and I feel happier in my life, which in my opinion, matters the most at the end of the day.
