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 Santa Ana, across all of Orange County County, and in nearby communities including Aliso Viejo, Anaheim, Brea, and Buena Park, 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.

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 Santa Ana or throughout Orange County County, I am available to help victims recover medical bills, scarring compensation, and emotional damages.

I represent:

• 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 Santa Ana, all of Orange County County, and surrounding areas including Aliso Viejo, Anaheim, Brea, and Buena Park.

⚖️ 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 dog’s legal owner

• Landlords who knew about a dangerous dog and failed to act in time

• 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.

? How Serious Dog Bite Injuries Can Be

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 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.

? What Compensation May Be Available

The value of a dog bite case in Santa Ana 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

• 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.

• parks

• apartment complexes

• private homes
