Yes. Yes it does.

If you have been hurt by another person’s pet, then you are protected under the California State personal injury laws. Don’t worry about the fact that the pet isn’t a dog or a cat. Any pet is the responsibility of the owner and that owner should be held at-fault for your injuries.

Of course, you should always go to the owner first and try to settle things out of court. Often times, owners are devastated by the actions of their pet and will help you with medical expenses. However, if they fail to help you, your best option is to visit a personal injury attorney who specializes in dog bites and other animal attacks.

So what can you do to protect yourself from this invasion of privacy? Well, here are a few tips.

1. If possible, only use a computer repairman that you know and trust.
2. If you have to use a computer repair service for your Mac, go to an Apple store directly. Don’t use a third party service if you can avoid it.
3. If you start to notice anything out of the ordinary with your computer, call a different repair service and have them check your computer.
4. Don’t take chances. If your computer starts sending you strange messages, check online or with other users to see if those messages are normal or are the result of someone hacking into your system.
5. Never get naked in front of your webcam… just in case.

-       Holes in your lawn

-       Cracks in the sidewalk or driveway

-       Toys or other small items for sale that fall from tables

-       Narrow aisles that cause visitors to bump into each other

-       And many more

So what can you do to prevent any accidents? Well, here are a few tips:

1. Don’t put anything on the lawn
2. Create a wide open space with tables surrounding it for free-flowing movement
3. Keep everything on tables and place small objects in boxes
4. Clean up all debris and repair any cracks or bumps in your driveway and sidewalk before the sale starts
5. Have the sale on someone else’s property – with their permission of course

1. Stop – Check and see if anyone was hurt and don’t just drive away. If you do, you will be on trial for two crimes instead of just one, especially if anyone was hurt.
2. Leave your information – A copy of your insurance card, your name, and your phone number. You should also get a copy of their information for your records.
3. Call your insurance company – Make sure your insurance knows that there is a case coming their way and be honest with them. They can only help if they know all of the information.
4. Be more careful in the future – if this accident was a result of distracted driving or even reckless driving, make sure it doesn’t happen again.

1. Yell at the judge in court – you’ll just be fined or held for contempt
2. Punch out your lawyer – Gaylord Tootsie Daney tried it and it didn’t go well for him
3. Rant to everyone you have ever met – you’ll just lose friends
4. Send hate mail to your lawyer, the judge, or the opposing party – you’ll just get sent to jail
5. Stay angry forever – it will only hurt you further

-       Never trust an attorney that you haven’t fully researched

-       Never use an attorney whose name you’ve seen on the news, like Juan Dominguez or Steven B. Smith

-       Never hire the ambulance chaser who followed you to the hospital

-       Never pay up front for services that haven’t yet been rendered

Some attorneys are con men. Others are considered the best in their field. It’s up to you to find the cream of the crop and leave the chaff behind.

• Auto Accidents
• Dog Bites
• Slip and Fall Accidents
• Medical Malpractice
• Product Liability
• Wrongful Death
• Sexual Harassment
• Discrimination
• Defamation of Character
• Construction Accidents
• Denial of Insurance Benefits
• False Arrest
• Invasion of Privacy
• And many more

So look over the list above. Have you been injured emotionally, mentally, or physically by one of the afore mentioned things? Don’t you think its time you contacted a personal injury attorney and received compensation for your losses?

1. Fix any uneven floorboards or tiles, preventing accidental trips.
2. Don’t overwork any employee, as tired employees make more mistakes and accidents are more prone to happen.
3. Put up signs everywhere of possible hazards – don’t expect anyone to use common sense when chances are they can sue you for much more than they make in a year.
4. Give raises often and treat your employees like family – chances are that, if they love their job or at least like you, they won’t sue.

1. Visual – removing your eyes from the roadway
2. Cognitive – letting your mind wander
3. Manual – removing your hands from the steering wheel

Each of these distraction types is dangerous for you and for your fellow drivers on the road. So how do you avoid distracted driving? How about these options:

1. If you know you’re upset about something or emotional, don’t drive.
2. Pretend your hands are glued to 10 and 2, just like in the driver’s manual
3. Avoid cell phones, food items, and playing with the radio
4. Stare your kids down only after pulling over to the side of the road

If you do these things, you are far more likely to avoid an accident.

1. Go to the doctor immediately. Don’t wait. You want to get treatment as soon as possible to avoid other medical risks.
2. Report it. As soon as possible, report the attack to the police and the local dog-catcher. The sooner that animal can be picked up and tested for rabies, the better.
3. If you know who owns the dog, go to them and discuss your options. A good owner will offer to pay your medical expenses and help you in any way they can. A bad owner, however, will tell you it was your fault, leading to step 4.
4. File a lawsuit. Do this only if you cannot come to a reasonable agreement with the owner, but do this soon after the bite if possible. Waiting will only give the owners time to cover their dog’s tracks.
