Return to your topic: Compensation for Injury to or Death of a Dog
Veterinary bills
The owner of an injured dog usually is entitled to recover at least the cost of veterinary services, against the person who inflicted the injury, or the owner of the dog that inflicted the injury. (Roos v. Loeser (1919) 41 Cal.App. 783.) However, some courts have held that the dog's owner ordinarily is permitted to recover no more than the dog's market value. Furthermore, the killing or injuring of a dog may result in no legal liability under certain circumstances; see Self-defense when a dog attacks a person and Defending dogs and other animals. To obtain the legal forms necessary to recover veterinary bills, get What To Do If Your Dog Is Injured Or Killed.
What people write to Attorney Phillips...
Hello Mr. Phillips,
I have referred you to another victim that could use your expertise in this type of situation. I am just doing this because after what my daughter went through I have an understanding of how a mother feels when their child is injured like this. I just want her to receive the the help like we did and that is from you. I am just helping her go to the best and that is you.
Sincerely,
Connie
