Respect for Animals can Protect Animals and Humans Alike

 At the Law Offices of Burg & Brock, Inc., we're renowned throughout Southern California as the personal injury attorney you can trust for truly first rate legal counsel. Since our founding, we've won an impressive $100 million for clients, all while boasting a truly impressive 97% success rate.

Our chief attorney Cameron Y. Brock and his team have regularly provided clients with the ideal vehicle accident lawyer, as well as the best legal counsel for personal injury, product liability and even dog bite cases. We understand that dogs are animals with deep-rooted instincts that can prove dangerous in the wrong scenario, and while they can't be held legally accountable for their actions - their owners certainly can, and should.

It is in that spirit that we bring you a shocking and disappointing story from The Hollywood Reporter regarding the treatment of animals during major film shoots. While the American Humane Association is often on hand to monitor the activities of animals on film sets - you may recall the 'No animals were harmed during the making of this film' assertion during closing credits of nearly every movie - a recent report suggests animal endangerment is more common than you might think.

A THR investigation found  a string of troubling cases involving animal endangerment, injury and death that call into question the "No Animals were Harmed" credit of the AHA. "It's fascinating and ironic: From being the protectors of animals they've become complicit to animal cruelty," says Bob Ferber, a veteran LA City Attorney's office prosecutor who founded and supervised its Animal Protection Unit.

As the top attorney in Los Angeles - the world's capitol for film making - Cameron Brock believes anyone responsible for animal cruelty should be held accountable for their actions - particularly when they make assertions about "No Harm" that are patently false. If you're the victim of a case involving animal cruelty, dog bites, or any other type of personal injury, contact the first rate attorney today.
