Dog Bite Injuries in Los Angeles and California
Every year, there are over 4 million dog bites in the United States. Dog bites can result in severe injuries and should not be ignored or treated lightly.

Lots of times, dog bite victims are bitten by dogs that belong to neighbors, friends or family. Because of that, many victims might not want to start a personal injury claim against the dog owner. A victim can always avoid this situation and mistake because the dog owner’s home insurance policy covers injuries suffered from a dog attack. Shield Law Group's lawyers can handle the claim against the dog owner's home insurance policy so that relationships aren't ruined.
Slip/Trip and Fall Injuries in Los Angeles and California
People slip and fall every day. But to have a personal injury claim, there has to be some negligence by the property owner. Property owners can be shops, stores, restaurants, offices, and even people's homes or yards. The property owner has a duty to make sure the area is safe and without hazardous conditions for others. And if a place isn't safe, they have a duty to warn you about a dangerous condition. Therefore, under the law, a slip and fall injury can be pursued if that property owner didn't perform their duty for their property. For example, if a grocery store fails to find a spilled liquid or anything else that can cause someone to slip within a reasonable time, they are liable for injuries caused if a person steps on that wet spot and injures themselves.
