Learn the Truth About Dog Bite Laws and Lawsuits
Many people make outdated and incorrect assumptions about California dog bite law. Important considerations to keep in mind include:
A legal concept known as “strict liability” applies in most dog bite cases — meaning, in part, that your ability to recover compensation does not depend on whether the dog has bitten a person before or on your attorney’s ability to prove owner negligence.
Precisely where a dog attack occurred may not matter, as long as you were lawfully on the property. Many high-value recoveries have been won for people bitten on public property, their own property or while serving as a mail carrier or providing another type of service with the owner’s consent.
Available compensation will depend on many factors, ranging from the extent of your physical injuries to available homeowners or other insurance coverage. You can depend on our experienced lawyers to take your case seriously and provide an honest evaluation of your likelihood of success with a personal injury claim or lawsuit.
Dog bites are not the only basis for valid animal attack claims. People who suffer serious injuries or fatal outcomes trying to break up a dogfight or flee attacking dogs may also have valid cases.
