Understanding your rights after a dog bite in California can be confusing. In the video below, we explain how California’s strict liability law works and what victims should do immediately after an attack.

I handle dog bite cases in Fremont, across all of Alameda County, and in nearby communities including Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, and Dublin, and other surrounding areas.

🧑‍⚖️ Why Choose a California Dog Bite Lawyer?

Dog bite cases involve unique legal issues. Insurance companies often argue that the victim provoked the dog, or that the owner didn’t know the dog was dangerous. My office knows how to defeat those arguments and pursue maximum compensation for serious injuries and permanent scarring.

🐾 How California Treats Dog Bite Cases

Unlike typical “accident” cases, dog bite claims in California are governed by strict legal rules.

Under California’s dog bite statute, many owners are strictly liable when their dog bites someone who is lawfully on public or private property – even if the dog never bit anyone before.

That means the real fight is not usually about whether the dog owner is responsible, but how much your case is worth.

🐶 Victims I Represent in Dog Bite Cases

No matter where a dog attack occurred in Fremont or throughout Alameda County, I am available to help victims recover medical bills, scarring compensation, and emotional damages.

I represent:

• Adults and children injured in dog bites
• Delivery personnel, mail carriers, and other workers attacked while doing their jobs
• Visitors, tenants, and invitees bitten on someone else’s property
• People bitten by off-leash or improperly controlled dogs in public

I handle cases throughout Fremont, all of Alameda County, and surrounding areas including Alameda, Albany, Berkeley, and Dublin.

⚖️ Potentially Liable Parties in California Dog Bite Cases

Every case is different, but in many California dog bite cases one or more of the following may be responsible:

• The dog’s legal owner
• Landlords who knew about a dangerous dog and failed to act in time
• Homeowners and renters whose insurance may cover the attack
• Businesses that allowed an unsafe dog on the property

Part of my job is to find every possible source of insurance and compensation so that you are not left paying the price for someone else’s negligence.

🩺 Injuries Often Seen After Dog Attacks

Dog bites can cause far more than simple puncture wounds, including:

• Tears, punctures, and crushing injuries
• Damage to nerves, muscles, and tendons
• Infections and scarring
• Facial wounds, eye injuries, and broken bones
• Emotional trauma, fear of dogs, and long-term anxiety

Insurance companies often undervalue the pain, fear, and long-term consequences of a dog bite – I make sure that doesn’t happen to you.

⭐ California Dog Bite Liability – Strict Liability

Unlike many states, California law (Civil Code §3342) makes dog owners strictly liable when their dog bites someone—whether or not the owner was negligent and even if the dog never bit anyone before.

You don’t need to prove the owner was careless.

🐾 Children Are Often the Victims

Most dog bites in California involve children under 12. These injuries often involve permanent scarring, nerve damage, facial injuries, and emotional trauma. Our office handles serious dog bite cases throughout the state.

💰 What Compensation May Be Available

The value of a dog bite case in Fremont can vary depending on the injuries, scarring, location of the attack, and available insurance coverage.

Depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Past and future medical bills
• Plastic surgery and scar revision
• Time off work now and in the future
• Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
• Disfigurement and loss of enjoyment of life

My goal is to fight for the full value of your case – not just whatever the insurance company first offers.
