Common Dog Bite Injuries

Victims of dog bites are often left physically injured and emotionally traumatized.  It’s not uncommon for dog bite victims to sustain serious, painful, and debilitating injuries, such as scarring, lacerations, puncture wounds, broken or fractured bones, infections, permanent disfigurement, and sometimes even death. 

Unfortunately, children are the most frequent victims of dog bites or attacks.  Because of their small size, dog bite injuries sustained by children are often much more severe than those sustained by adults.  If you or your child has been attacked or bitten by a dog in  Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino or Riverside County, we can help.  The dog bite lawyers at the Southern California Legal Group are very experienced, and can help you take the right steps to recover damages for your injuries.

California Dog Bite Law

In California, dog owners are held responsible if their dog bites or attacks another person.  Civil Code §3342a clearly states,

“The owner of any dog is liable for damages suffered by any person who is bitten by the dog while in a public place or lawfully in a private place, including the property of the owner of the dog, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner’s knowledge of such viciousness.”

This law provides that unless the victim was trespassing or committing a crime when the dog attacked, the dog owner will be held responsible for any injury, even if the dog doesn’t have a prior history of aggressive behavior.
