California Dog Bite Injuries

If you have sustained a dog bite, our firm can educate you on your options for seeking a claim against the owner of the dog. In California, a dog owner is strictly liable for injuries cased by his dog - a victim normally does not have to prove the dog owner was negligent in the handling or control of his dog. The strict liability also extends to dog parks. Also, even if a dog does not bite you, you may have grounds for a claim: for example, if a dog chased you and you fell, injuring yourself, the dog's owner may be considered negligent in not controlling the animal.
