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 Riverside, across all of Riverside County County, and in nearby communities including Banning, Beaumont, Blythe, and Calimesa, 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

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.

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

⚖️ 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

• 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

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.

? How Serious Dog Bite Injuries Can Be

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

• Tears, punctures, and crushing injuries

• Nerve damage or loss of feeling

• Serious infections, scarring, and disfigurement

• Facial wounds, eye injuries, and broken bones

• 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.

? What Compensation May Be Available

The value of a dog bite case in Riverside 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

• Lost wages and loss of earning capacity

• Physical pain and mental anguish

• 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.
