Home › Personal Injury Lawyer › California Dog Bite Attorney

Having a dog is a good experience for many, but we forget they are animals. Their instinct can make them attack people or cause damage to their property in specific situations.

In both scenarios, the victims can be left with hefty medical bills or expensive repairs.

Dog bite attacks often result from negligence or carelessness from owners. They fail to take adequate measures that seriously threaten other’s life and property. The victims can file lawsuits against such dog owners and get financial compensation for the damages.

It’s crucial to work with a California dog bite lawyer who has extensive experience with these cases, such as Lehr Law who will fight for your fair compensation.

  • Head and facial injuries
  • Mental health issues and emotional scars

Dog attack wounds have minor bruises, puncture wounds, or ripped flesh. Sometimes they can be fatal. Even with a minor bruise, you can file a lawsuit to help with the treatment and therapy that can cost thousands of dollars.

California State Have Strict Dog Bite Laws

The California Civil Code Section 3342 states that dog owners are directly responsible for dog attacks, regardless of the attack location (home, public or private spaces). Suppose the dog has no records of violence and aggression. In that case, the court will hold the owner accountable for the dog’s behavior, even if the accident happened on the owner’s premises.

However, owners will not be held liable if the attack was provoked by trespassing or animal cruelty. In most cases, dog owners are held accountable for the attack.

Victims should be aware of their rights and proceed to get compensation with help from Lehr Law, APC.
