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 Torrance, across all of Los Angeles County, and in nearby communities including Agoura Hills, Alhambra, Arcadia, and Artesia, 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.

🐾 What Makes Dog Bite Claims Unique in California

California’s dog bite laws create unique rights and responsibilities for owners and injured victims.

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.

The main battle in these cases is often over the value of your injuries, not just who is at fault.

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

I represent:

• Adults and children injured in dog bites

• Guests, renters, and lawful visitors attacked at homes or businesses
• People bitten by off-leash or improperly controlled dogs in public

I handle cases throughout Torrance, all of Los Angeles County, and surrounding areas including Agoura Hills, Alhambra, Arcadia, and Artesia.

⚖️ Who May Be Legally Responsible for a Dog Bite in Torrance?

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

• The person or family who owns the dog
• Property owners who allowed a known dangerous dog on the premises
• Homeowners or renters with applicable insurance coverage
• Commercial property owners that failed to keep visitors safe from a known dangerous dog

I carefully investigate each case to identify all responsible parties and all available insurance policies 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:

• Deep puncture wounds and lacerations
• Damage to nerves, muscles, and tendons
• Serious infections, scarring, and disfigurement
• Facial wounds, eye injuries, and broken bones
• Psychological trauma, anxiety, and PTSD

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.

💰 Damages You May Recover in a Dog Bite Case

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.
