How to Use the Checklist

The California Dog Bite Evidence Checklist is designed to be simple, private, and helpful. Here is what to expect.

1

Answer Simple Questions

The checklist walks you through 6 sections of plain-language questions about what happened, who was involved, medical care, evidence, insurance contact, and special circumstances. Most questions are multiple choice. Select the answer that best matches your situation.

2

Review Your Personalized Results

Based on your answers, the checklist identifies which evidence to preserve now, what to avoid doing, and questions an attorney may want to review. Results are categorized by urgency level so you know what to prioritize.

3

Send Your Results (Optional)

If you choose, you can provide your contact information to receive a copy of your results by email and allow our team to follow up. This is completely optional and does not create an attorney-client relationship.

4

Book a Consultation

If your results suggest attorney review may be appropriate, you can call (949) 404-4826 or book a free consultation online with JSM Injury Firm. Consultations are free for dog bite and animal attack cases.
