Dog Attacks

Every year, millions of innocent people are bitten and seriously injured by dogs in the U.S. These injuries range from minor nips to serious dog maulings resulting in serious bodily injury and even death. At least fifteen people die each year as a result of dog attacks in the United States. Unfortunately the majority of dog bite victims are children, and in approximately 75% of child dog bite cases, the dog belongs to a family member or friend. Although certain dog breeds are stated to be more ferocious than others, there are many dog breeds which are capable of causing serious injury and death. If you are a dog bite victim, you have legal rights to recover monetary compensation for your damages. In fact, California law provides for ample damages to compensate you for your injuries.

It is imperative that you contact us if you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog. Our dog attack attorneys have a thorough understanding of California dog bite laws, and will provide you with advice and help you in your time of need. In California, a dog’s behavior is always the responsibility of its owner. Meaning that if a dog bites someone, the owner is liable regardless of the dog’s breed or the reason the attack. A dog’s owner cannot avoid his or her liability by attempting to prove that he or she did not realize the dog would bite or by stating that the dog had never bitten anyone in the past. This is irrelevant. Liability is based upon ownership of the dog.
