Why are dog attack cases on the rise in California?

Bisnar Chase LLP

I can see that 80 percent of the cases I handle involve two breeds, Rottweiler?s and pit-bulls. Twenty years ago, I never saw a Rottweiler or pit-bull case. They were usually German Shepherds. We have a much higher percentage of the more aggressive breeds of dogs and we also have more people, dogs in smaller areas, they're more agitated, there is more chances of the dogs getting upset and actually attacking somebody. The more aggressive breeds, they attack and keep attacking rather than bite or nip to make you go away. I'm John Bisnar, the Senior Partner of the Bisnar/Chase Law Firm. We exclusively represent seriously injured accident victims from our offices in Newport Beach, California.

Why representing dog bite cases are personal for me.

The Roberts Law Firm

When I was a child, I was bitten by a dog and unfortunately my parents did not hire an attorney who specialized in dog bite cases. And they did not receive the recovery that I should have received for that case. It's one of the reasons that when I represent people that are in dog bite cases, particularly children, I fight to recover maximum recovery for them. For their injures, for their pain cause there is a great deal of pain associated with dog bites. And for scaring, particularly if it's going to be long term scaring.

Why does The Harman Firm handle discrimination cases?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

I handle discrimination cases because I decided early on that if I was going to be a lawyer I wanted to represent individuals, and I wanted to champion the rights of the underdog. I believe that that’s, uh, would be the best use of my talent and my passion. And, um, it’s, uh, why I’ve developed, uh, my firm. Um, I’ve found that in the employment context in particular, discrimination can be pervasive and subtle, and people are less likely to assert their rights and say if they’ve been discriminated against, uh, out on the street or in a store. And so I became particularly passionate about discrimination in the workplace. My name is Walker Harman. I’m the managing attorney of The Harman Firm. If you believe you’ve been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you. Please give us a call.

How much money in gender discrimination cases?

The Harman Firm, P.C.

Damages in gender discrimination cases are assessed in much the same way damages are assessed in race discrimination cases or age discrimination cases. You get your lost pay, so if you're demoted and you prove that you've been discriminated against because of your gender, you get the difference between what you should have been paid and the pay you were demoted to. You're terminated and you prove that you've discriminated against because of your gender, you get a stream of lost income going into the future, not indefinitely but up until you get a job, for a reasonable period of time. You're also entitled to emotional injuries and other types of injuries such as, perhaps, in certain instances punitive damages and attorney's fees. My name is Walker Harman. I'm the managing attorney of the Harman Firm. If you believe you've been the victim of illegal employment discrimination, we are eager to speak with you. Please give us a call.

What injuries can a dog bite cause?

Thomas M. Kiley and Associates, LLP

In dog bite cases especially those involving children we see very jagged injuries that are dirty, tend to get infected. We've seen children's ears get bitten off, lips torn, noses bitten off, eye damage. It can be very devastating especially if it's a large dog, and these injuries many times require plastic surgery to repair and involve permanent disfigurement, so the value of the cases could go from the thousands of dollars to millions of dollars depending upon how much damage the dog does to the child. I'm attorney Tom Kiley, I've been representing the seriously injured and their families in Massachusetts for over three decades.

Do most car accident lawsuits settle of go to trial?

Proner & Proner

Well I think there's a paradox there. If you've got a skilled attorney that knows how to try a case, your case is more likely to settle. If you don't have a skilled attorney who doesn't know how to try a case, either the carrier is not going to pay you full value on the claim or its got to be tried and at that point that attorney might refer the case to another attorney who does try cases so that's a good thing to ask your attorney at the outset is "do you actually try cases?" I'm Mitchell Proner. If you're looking for an experienced, skilled attorney to represent you or a loved one in New York, contact me today.

How long does a motorcycle accident claim take if I involve an attorney?

The Roberts Law Firm

No two motorcycle injury accidents are the same. That's based mostly on the extent and the nature of the injuries that the motorcyclist has suffered. A attorney specialized in motorcycle accident cases can and will determine when a case is ready to be settled. That is usually based on the medical treatment being completed and the full nature and extent of the injuries being known. Only at that time will a case be settled. Most motorcycle accident cases settle within one year of the accident. I'm Jeff Roberts of the Roberts Law Firm, a full service personal injury law firm in Southern California.

The most horrendous dog attack cases are the ones against children. Generally dogs will bite a child around the face, neck and head. With the very aggressive dogs, they will rip and tear. So, there is a lot of damage that creates tremendous scaring especially around the lips, the face, the eyes, the ears. I've seen cases of lips ripped off and ears ripped off and the amount of recovery time, the scaring, and the plastic surgery that comes afterwards, it?s just tremendous, its horrendous.

Is there a statute of limitations on cancer misdiagnosis lawsuits?

Steven E. North

The statute of limitations in New York for all medical malpractice lawsuits -- with some exception that we won't go into -- is 2-1/2 years. But in cancer cases it's tricky because if somebody had a mammogram, for example, two years ago and didn't know that there was a lesion on there -- that there was cancer on there that wasn't picked up -- and then they find out about it just close to that statute of limitations, they have to put that in suit right away. New York does not have a discovery rule that from the time of discovery the statute runs. It runs from the last treatment by the doctor, and one has to be specially careful in cancer cases. I'm Steven (sp?) North. I specialize in medical malpractice litigation. My office is located in a townhouse in the Upper East Side of Manhattan. We welcome your call.

Which test hurts my DUI defense the most in California?

The Law Offices of Virginia L Landry, Inc.

The toughest test to beat in California is a blood test. However, here in Orange County, California, we win cases when the laboratory makes a mistake on the blood test. In Los Angeles County, we win cases where the police officers make mistakes. In each city, a police officer has an approved breath testing device, so if the machine is not calibrated correctly, if it's not used appropriately, whether it's a breath or a blood, we may be able to exclude those test results, and that makes the difference on your case in court. I'm Virginia Landry. For the last 19 years in Orange County, I've helped when bad things happen to good people. If you've been arrested for DUI, please call.

Who's the right attorney for a motorcycle accident victim?

Proner & Proner

Motorcycle accidents are different than other cases because there is an inherent bias towards motorcycles that people don't have for drivers of cars or other motor vehicles. Consequently, you want an attorney that is experienced specifically in handling motorcycle accident cases, because that attorney is going to understand two things. Number one: they are going to understand the bias against the motorcyclist. Number two: they are going to understand the different physics involved in a motorcycle accident, and can use that knowledge of the physics involved in a motorcycle accident to present your case in a light most favorable to you to get you as much money as possible as quickly as possible.

If an individual is injured on New York City subway stairs, these claims often depend upon two factors. First of all, was there a defect that caused the fall? There must be something wrong with the stairs in order for the city to be held liable. Secondly, what are the extent of the injuries? Normally, these cases can go for any amount of money, depending upon those two factors - from a few thousand dollars to, I’ve personally had recoveries well into the millions on these types of cases.

What's the #1 mistake people make after being arrested for armed assault?

Altman & Altman, LLP

The number one mistake that I see people make in assault cases, particulary assault and battery with a dangerous weapon cases, is to think that the authorities are going to see things the way they do. In other words, the defendant says "well I was justified because he said this and he said that and he got me angry and blah, blah, blah". Well the fact is, it's still a crime. But if they don't take it seriously from the beginning, they don't hire the right defense attorney to represent them seriously. And so that is the number one mistake, not taking it seriously, not hiring counsel and basically making all kinds of statements that end up hanging you down the road.

Do banks in New York want to lower my interest rate?

Carl E. Person

Banks would like to make properties pay when they have a mortgage outstanding. And in many cases, the banks will have to lower the interest rate in order to make the mortgage payment affordable by the person living in the home. So that the banks may not like it, but they do recognize that the way of keeping toxic mortgages off their books is to bring them back to life by making the mortgages affordable. In that way they do lower interest rates and that is done in a modification agreement. I’m Carl Person, a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

What is a loan modification?

Carl E. Person

In New York, as in other states, a loan modification is where the bank and the borrower reach an agreement, which generally reduces the monthly payment that the borrower has to make. In some cases, they throw that unpaid amount at the far end, so that the length of the mortgage is more it's greater length in order to pay back the money that isn't being paid today, but all that is subject to negotiation.

Do I qualify to mount a mortgage foreclosure defense?

Carl E. Person

If a person is sued in a foreclosure action, they're invited by the summons that they receive to put in a defense. A defense will include various reasons why the bank should not win. Various things they've done wrong and the banks we now know have done many things wrong. Previously, like a year ago, the court probably wouldn't look at half of this. But now the courts are looking at it and we are aware that the banks do wrong in many cases. Some of these wrongs translate into defenses and a lawyer can help the person that sued to maintain those defenses. I'm Carl Person, a New York lawyer and a fighter to keep people in their homes.

How is a sub-prime mortgage different from a regular mortgage?

Carl E. Person

A sub-prime mortgage is given to individuals who don't qualify with their employment record, their income, their earnings to be qualified for the prime rate. So, in many cases the small business person has no earnings, they somehow live, they don't necessarily pay taxes, and when they try to qualify for a mortgage, the bank laughs because you have no income. So the sub-prime was set up basically for those people that couldn't prove that they could pay a mortgage but many other people who don't have any earnings, don't have any income were also included, and that was a mistake. I'm Carl Person. I'm a New York lawyer and my job is to help people stay in their homes.

Are sub-prime mortgages eligible for a loan modification?

Carl E. Person

Subprime mortgages are the ones that basically are being forclosed, and they, yes they are as eligible if not more eligible because in many cases the borrower really did qualify for a lower rate and they gave them a higher rate in order to pay a mortgage broker who looked around for the bank that would give the mortgage broker the most money and the bank then tacked it on and charged a higher rate than the bank should have.

Proner & Proner

If an out of state pedestrian is injured in a motor vehicle accedent in New York, my office has handled cases on numerous occasions and most times the out of state individual doesn't even have to return to New York. In New York, the attorney can present the claim, can do an investigation, do an accident reconstruction, and based upon the report of the out of state doctors can still get the pedestrian, the money they deserve from the injuries they've sustained.I'm Mitchell Kroner, if you're looking for an experienced skilled attorney to represent you or loved one in New York contact me today.
