Dog Bite Attorney

Dog Bite Attorney in Los Angeles is Important?

According to California Civil Code §3342 “The owner of any dog is liable for the damages suffered by any person who is bitten by the dog while in a public place or lawfully in a private place, including the property of the owner of the dog, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner’s knowledge of such viciousness.” This means that a dog owner is responsible for their dog whether they are in their own home or in a public place. It also does not matter whether or not it was the first time the dog injured someone or not. 

There is strict liability on the dog owner in dog bite cases and liability is normally not disputed. The dog owner is responsible for the damages you suffered. However, the damages you sustained may be disputed. The defense will attempt to minimize your damages caused by the dog bite. This is why it is important to hire an attorney that will advocate for you and help you receive the compensation you deserve. 

Although we view dogs as a part of our families, a large number of people are injured each year due to dog bites. Because of our view of dogs and the rarity of being bitten by a dog, it is startling and traumatizing to be bitten by a dog. Oftentimes people are so traumatized after being bitten by a dog that their relationship with dogs changes. There have been cases in which some gave away their dogs after being bitten due to the fear instilled in them from the injuries. 

Dog bite injuries are usually minimal but in rare cases they can be fatal. Often the injuries from a dog bite include abrasion, scarring, wounds, broken bones, infections, nerve damage, loss of mobility, and ptsd. Medical treatment can be costly and stressful.
