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 Anaheim, across all of Orange County, and in nearby communities including Aliso Viejo, Brea, Buena Park, and Costa Mesa, 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

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.

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

🐶 People I Fight For After Dog Attacks

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

I represent:

  • Children, adults, and seniors hurt in dog attacks
  • Delivery personnel, mail carriers, and other workers attacked while doing their jobs
  • Visitors, tenants, and invitees bitten on someone else’s property
  • Pedestrians and bicyclists attacked on the street or sidewalk

I handle cases throughout Anaheim, all of Orange County, and surrounding areas including Aliso Viejo, Brea, Buena Park, and Costa Mesa.

⚖️ Potentially Liable Parties in California Dog Bite Cases

Depending on the facts, several different people or entities may share responsibility for a dog attack:

  • The person or family who owns the dog
  • Landlords who knew about a dangerous dog and failed to act in time
  • Homeowners or renters with applicable insurance coverage
  • Commercial property owners that failed to keep visitors safe from a known dangerous dog

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.

🩺 Common Injuries in Dog Bite Cases

Dog attacks can leave both visible and hidden injuries that last a lifetime, including:

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

Part of a strong case is fully documenting both the physical and emotional impact of the attack.

⭐ 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

The value of a dog bite case in Anaheim 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
  • Time off work now and in the future
  • Physical pain and mental anguish
  • Visible scarring and changes to daily activities

I work to ensure that any settlement or verdict reflects the true impact this dog bite has had on your life and future.

📌 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

California law only gives you a certain amount of time to act after a dog bite.

After a dog bite in Anaheim, you should:

  • Get immediate medical care and follow your doctor’s orders
  • Report the bite to local animal control or law enforcement
  • Take photos of injuries and the scene if possible
  • Do not let an insurance adjuster minimize your case

Calling a lawyer early helps preserve evidence and prevents costly mistakes.
