?‍⚖️ 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.

? Why Dog Bite Cases Are Different 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.

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

I represent:

• Pedestrians and bicyclists attacked on the street or sidewalk

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

⚖️ Who Can Be Sued After a Dog Attack?

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

• The dog’s legal owner

• 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

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

• Tears, punctures, and crushing injuries

• Nerve damage or loss of feeling

• 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.

? Financial Recovery in California Dog Bite Claims

The value of a dog bite case in Los Angeles 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

• Physical pain and mental anguish

• Disfigurement and loss of enjoyment of life

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

• parks
