Protecting Victims of Dog Attacks Across California

A dog attack can be sudden, terrifying, and life-changing. In just moments, victims — including children — can suffer severe physical injuries, emotional trauma, and long-term scarring. If you or someone you love has been bitten or attacked by a dog, you have important rights under California law.

You don’t have to face this alone — we’re here to fight for you.\

​

California’s Dog Bite Law

Under California Civil Code § 3342, dog owners are strictly liable for bites that occur when a victim is lawfully on public or private property — regardless of whether the dog has ever shown aggression before.

That means you don’t have to prove the dog owner was negligent — only that their dog bit you and caused injury.

Our firm has extensive experience navigating California’s dog bite laws, working with medical professionals, and pursuing maximum recovery for victims throughout the state.

​

Common Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bites can cause serious and lasting harm, including:

• Deep puncture wounds and lacerations

• Nerve damage

• Severe infections or rabies exposure

• Facial injuries and disfigurement

• Scarring requiring plastic or reconstructive surgery

• Emotional trauma and post-traumatic stress (especially in children)

These injuries can lead to significant medical expenses, time off work, and lifelong emotional impacts. Our attorneys make sure your claim reflects the true scope of your pain and losses.

​

What Compensation Can You Recover?

You may be entitled to recover compensation for:

• Medical expenses (emergency care, surgery, rehabilitation)

• Lost wages and lost earning potential

• Pain and suffering

• Emotional distress or trauma

• Scarring and disfigurement

• Future medical or psychological care

• Wrongful death (in fatal dog attack cases)

Our team will aggressively pursue every available source of compensation — including homeowner’s insurance policies or renter’s insurance coverage.

​

What to Do After a Dog Bite

If you’ve been bitten by a dog in California, take these important steps:

1. Seek immediate medical care — even small bites can lead to infection.

2. Report the incident to local animal control or law enforcement.

3. Document your injuries with photos and medical records.

4. Get contact information for the dog owner and any witnesses.

5. Call a California dog bite lawyer to protect your rights before speaking with insurance companies.

Early action can make a major difference in the strength of your case.
