DOG ATTACKS

California is a state that supports strict liability for most dog bites. This holds dog owners accountable for any injuries caused by a dog, and to protect victims from being attacked from careless owners.
A recent national survey concluded that dogs bite nearly 2% of the U.S. population -- more than 4 million people annually. An American has a one in 50 chance of being bitten by a dog each year. Unfortunately, many of those victims are children because children are less intimidating to vicious dogs and are inherently unaware of dangerous situations. 


 While dog bite fatalities are rare, deadly dog attacks do occur every year.  Although laws involving dog bites vary from state to state, a victim in the state of California can gain compensation in many ways depending on the circumstances and the dog bite statute. This can include a person who violated a leash law, a person who kept a dog knowing that the animal had a history of injuring people, and a person whose negligence caused the attack.

A dog bite can be a traumatic event that results in serious injury. Your damages may be substantial because you have suffered both physically and emotionally. The consequences, such as permanent scaring and nerve damage may follow you for the rest of your life.
