California Law - Dog Bites

Under California dog bite law, a dog-owner  is absolutely responsible when a dog bites or attacks a person. This is called "strict liability," and this is the dog bite law in California.  Animal attacks and animal bites are the strict liability of the animals' owner.  In California, if you own a dog, you must pay for all injuries and all subsequent damages when your dog bites or attacks someone.  When you have a dog bite case and you file a dog bite lawsuit, your California dog bite lawyers need only prove:

• that the victim was lawfully on the premises where the dog attack occurred, and 
• that the dog bites caused injury to the dog bite victim.

The owner of the dog is then strictly liable in the dog bite law suit for all injuries and damages suffered by the dog bite victim.

Homeowners Liability Insurance and Dog Bites

If the owner of the dog owns a home, in most cases, liability for dog bites and dog attacks are covered by the homeowners insurance policy.  In some cases, the homeowner may be responsible for a dog bite or attack by a renter's dog.

Dog Bite Injuries - Emotional & Physical

Dog bites often cause more than physical injury.

• There is emotional and psychological trauma associated with dog bites and vicious dog attacks.
• Parents who witness their child being bitten or attacked by a dog may also suffer emotional trauma from the dog bite or dog attack.  In some cases, those parents also have dog bite claims and may recover damages.

Dog Bite Injuries - Damages

The following damages may be sought in a Dog Bite Lawsuit:

• Medical Emergency Room Costs
• Hospitalization
• Plastic surgery
• Psychological & emotional trauma treatment
• Lost wages, present and future, as loss of earning capacity
• Pain & Suffering
