Dog Bite Cases in California
Frequently, a dog bite can result in serious injury; sometimes the victims
is a helpless child. The impact of a severe dog attack on a child's life
can be disastrous, and the consequences far reaching.
Depending on the dog doing the biting, the owner of that dog, and the
relationship between all involved, California dog bite law may provide
relief for the injured person.
It is therefore important to have an experienced dog bite attorney analyze
the facts of the case and research the breed of dog in order to determine
if the law provides a right of compensation for the injury resulting from
the dog bite.
Dog Bite Law in California
In California stautes, ordinances and case law address the regulation
of dogs and their owners, and the bases for compensation in the case of
injury. For example, in cases involving certain types of dogs, i.e., dangerous
dogs (dogs with a "dangerous propensity" or "vicious propensity") the
owner of the dog may be liable for injury, without regard to fault (strict
liability).
In other situations, owners, landlords or other persons who "keep" or
"harbor" dangerous dogs may be liable when the dogs attack. The facts
of each case will often determine the outcome of that particular case.
