Strict Liability in California Means Your Dog Bite Injuries Were Not Your Fault

With 47 percent of American households owning at least one dog, it is obvious how many people consider their dogs to be part of the family. Unfortunately, these people also fail to realize that dogs are animals that are capable of causing serious bodily harm to others if they are raised incorrectly or put into a situation where they feel threatened in some way. Because of this, an estimated 4.7 million dog bites occur in the U.S. every single year.If you were bitten, knocked down, jumped on, or hurt in some way by a dog in California, you could be entitled to recover monetary damages. California does not follow the “one bite rule” that many other states follow; in our state, the dog owner is strictly liable for any injuries their dog inflicts. There’s no back and forth trying to determine who was at fault for the attack: the dog owner is automatically at fault in nearly every single situation.Were you or loved one seriously injured in a California dog attack and you’re not sure what to do next?

Woodland Hills Dog Bite Attorneys Representing Victims of Attacks & Bites

Between 2005 and 2012, California was second only to Texas when it came to the total number of fatal dog attacks. There are many reasons why dogs may attack people, but when they do, injuries are common. Death is obviously the worst-case scenario, but we have also represented dog attack victims suffering from a wide range of serious injuries that were both physical and mental, including:

  • Puncture wounds
  • Infections
  • Fractures
  • Disfiguring scars
  • Lacerations
  • Nerve damage
  • Post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Sprains
  • Depression
  • Anxiety

Most times, a dog attack victim will be dealing with more than one of these injuries—meaning that more and more medical bills pile up quickly. When you work with a knowledgeable dog bite lawyer, you can relax a bit knowing that you have a trained professional on your side to help you obtain the compensation you deserve so you don’t have to worry about covering any costs.
