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 Glendale, 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

Dog bite claims involve special rules that most people – and many adjusters – don’t fully understand.

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.

In many cases, liability is clear – the insurance company simply argues about paying full and fair compensation.

🐶 Who I Help After a Dog Bite in Glendale

No matter where a dog attack occurred in Glendale 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
  • 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 Glendale, all of Los Angeles County, and surrounding areas including Agoura Hills, Alhambra, Arcadia, and Artesia.

⚖️ Who Can Be Sued After a Dog Attack?

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 and renters whose insurance may cover the attack
  • 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
  • Nerve damage or loss of feeling
  • Infections and scarring
  • Facial injuries and eye trauma
  • 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 Glendale 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:

  • Emergency treatment, surgery, and follow-up care
  • Reconstructive procedures and scar repair
  • Lost wages and loss of earning capacity
  • Pain, suffering, and emotional distress
  • Visible scarring and changes to daily activities

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

📌 Common Dog Bite Locations

Dog attacks commonly occur at:

  • parks
  • apartment complexes
  • private homes
  • public streets
  • playgrounds
  • restaurant patios
  • mail delivery routes
  • AirBnB properties
  • dog-friendly retail locations

⏱ Don’t Wait to Protect Your Rights

If you wait too long, you may lose important legal rights completely.

After a dog bite in Glendale, you should:

  • Seek prompt medical treatment and document all injuries
  • Report the bite to local animal control or law enforcement
  • Preserve evidence, including photos and witness information
  • Avoid giving recorded statements to insurance companies before speaking with a lawyer

The sooner I can get involved, the better I can protect your evidence and your rights.
