California Law Protects Dog Bite Victims.
California law generally holds dog owners strictly liable when their dog bites someone who is in a public place or lawfully on private property. A victim does not have to prove that the dog had bitten someone before or that the owner knew the dog was dangerous.
Central Law Firm investigates both liability and the full extent of the injuries caused by the attack. That may include medical treatment, scarring or disfigurement, future care, emotional distress, lost income, and the effect the injury has on everyday life.
Compensation may be available through a homeowner's, renter's, or other applicable insurance policy, depending on the circumstances and available coverage. We identify potential sources of recovery and pursue the compensation supported by the evidence.
