Dog Bites

Bites and attacks by dogs can be particularly vicious and frightening. California follows a strict liability approach to dog bites. In California, the owner of a dog is liable for injuries caused by their dog when the dog bites someone who is lawfully in a public place or lawfully on private property.

Injuries from dog bites can require extensive wound care and treatment. Many cases require plastic surgery for scar revisions and, at times, reconstruction.

If you are bit by a dog, you are entitled to the following:

Medical bills
Lost wages and lost or reduced earning capacity
Out of pocket expenses
Damage to personal property
General damages, including pain and suffering, changes to your quality of life, inconvenience, frustration, grief, anxiety, humiliation, disfigurement, physical impairment, physical pain, mental suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
