Dog Bite Laws In California

In our state, a dog owner bears “strict liability” if his or her dog injures another person. This rule can make it somewhat easier to win a dog bite case, though there are exceptions to the strict liability rule. For that reason, it is important to get the advice of an attorney experienced in dog attack cases.

When representing you, we will thoroughly investigate all aspects of your case. We will learn how the dog attack happened, identify all possible sources of insurance compensation and work tenaciously to help you get everything you are entitled to receive. Depending on the circumstances of your case, this could include:

• Emergency medical costs
• Scar revision and cosmetic surgery
• Psychological counseling
• Lost income
• Pain and suffering
• Other economic and non-economic losses
• Punitive damages

If you were injured by the dog of a neighbor, friend or family member, that person’s insurance policy may provide a source of compensation. Your claim will not increase the dog owner’s insurance rates.
