Dog Bite & Animal Attack Injuries in California

Dog bites and animal attacks can cause serious physical and emotional trauma. In California, the law recognizes the rights of victims to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and long-term injuries resulting from such attacks. At David’s Law Firm, we are dedicated to protecting victims and holding negligent dog owners accountable.

Understanding California Dog Bite Law
California is a strict liability state when it comes to dog bites. This means:
•If a dog bites someone without provocation, the owner is typically responsible for the victim’s injuries—even if the dog has never bitten anyone before.
•Victims may recover damages for:
•Medical treatment (emergency care, surgeries, rehabilitation)
•Lost wages due to injury
•Emotional distress and pain and suffering
•Scarring, disfigurement, or permanent impairment
However, liability may be affected if:
• The victim provoked the dog
•The dog was protecting the owner or property under certain conditions
Common Causes of Dog Bite Injuries
• Negligent supervision of the animal
•Failure to secure a dangerous dog or leash properly
•Failing to warn visitors of a dog with a history of aggression
•Owner allowing the dog to roam in public areas without proper control
