Dog bites can cause severe physical and emotional trauma, leading to infections, nerve damage, and permanent scarring. Beyond the physical injuries, victims may also experience psychological distress, especially children.
California’s strict liability laws hold dog owners responsible for injuries caused by their pets, making it possible for victims to seek compensation.
Unlike some states that require proof of negligence, California holds dog owners strictly liable for bites, regardless of whether the dog has shown aggression before.
However, proving liability still requires thorough documentation, medical records, and legal guidance. Compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, emotional distress, and reconstructive surgery if needed.
Seeking immediate medical attention is crucial after a dog bite to prevent infection and document injuries. Reporting the incident, gathering witness statements, and consulting with an attorney can strengthen a legal claim.
With proper representation, victims can secure compensation that reflects the full extent of their injuries and suffering.
