a26+ Years of Experience as a Dog Bite Attorney ServiaFullerton Dog Biteng Fullerton

Many people who are bitten by a dog recover quickly depending on the severity of the bite. However, large dogs can inflict an incredible amount of damage on a person, especially children. State Farm had to pay out over $104 Million for about 3,700 claims in 2013 (an average of roughly $30,000 per claimant). Of those cases, most of the victims were children. Locally, The Orange County Register reports that 4 dog bites happen every day in Orange County.

Dog attacks can cause serious injuries and other conditions, including:

• Scarring
• Puncture wounds
• Broken bones
• Psychological conditions, including PTSD
• Loss of sight or hearing
• Traumatic brain injury from being knocked down
• Infection, including rabies infection

Injuries to the face, arms, hands, and legs are common. Serious dog bites can require multiple surgeries, including plastic surgery, to repair the damage.

Dog Owners Are Strictly Liable for Injuries Caused by Their Dog

The state of California supports dog bite victims by requiring pet owners to be responsible for their actions. California holds dog owners strictly liable for damages their dogs cause. In a dog bite injury claim, we need to prove only that:

• The defendant owned the dog
• The dog bit and injured you
• You were in a public place or lawfully on private property when the dog bite occurred

It doesn’t matter whether the owner knew the dog was dangerous, whether the dog had bitten anyone previously, or if the dog that bit you was of a dangerous breed. Dog owners and/or those who were caring for the dog at the time of the attack are responsible for damages.
