California Strict Liability of Dog
Bites:
Dog bite law in California is very strict; in fact
the legal term is “strict liability”. Basically that
means that if you own a dog in California, and that
dog bites someone, you are liable or legally
responsible for the dog bite, (if the person bitten
was legally on the premises where the dog bite or
dog attack occurred). California Strict liability =
if you own the dog, you pay for the dog bite
injuries and all subsequent damages related to the
dog bites or dog attack that occurred in California.
Period.
We have successfully represented
countless dog bite victims in southern California.
We aggressively pursue dog attack victims’ rights to
compensation for all injuries and damages, economic
and non-economic, connected with the dog bites. Dog
bite injury often extends beyond the physical injury
and damage. Often there is emotional and
psychological trauma associated with dog bites and
vicious dog attacks. If the dog bite victim was a
child, and one or both parents witnessed the dog
attack, they too may have suffered emotional trauma
for which they may be entitled to compensation.
Costs of treatment for the dog bites are often very
high. Dog bite treatment includes emergency room
visits, sometimes hospitalization, psychological
treatment and often plastic surgery. If the victim
of the dog attack was working, one of the damages we
pursue may be lost wages and loss of present and
future earning capacity, as well as pain and
suffering under California dog bite laws.
Homeowners’ liability insurance
coverage for dog bites:
If the owner of the vicious dog owns a home in
Riverside, in most cases, liability for dog bites
and dog attacks are covered by a homeowner’s
insurance policy. Homeowners liability insurance
will usually cover the first time the dog bites or
the first time the dog attacks. However, after that,
the insurance company will often recommend that the
dog be destroyed because they consider the dog
dangerous and will no longer insure liability for
that dog. Dog bite statistics show that once a dog
has bitten, the dog is more likely to bite again.
Statistics on dog bites also show that 60% of all
dog bite victims in southern California are
children and that the dog bites they suffer usually
occur in their own neighborhoods. While dog bite
fatalities are rare, statistically 15 to 20 people
are killed in vicious fatal dog attacks every year,
at times in Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
One third of all injury claims against homeowner
liability policies in Riverside and San Bernardino
are related to dog bites and dog attacks.
Rabies? Rabies treatment? Rabies
control in California has been highly effective!
When a person is bitten by a dog,
often the first fear that comes to mind is the
possibility of contracting rabies. While the dog
bite must be reported to Riverside Animal Control,
and monitored, the likelihood of a rabid dog in
California is practically nil. Only 1 or 2 people
die in the United States from rabies per year, and
those not knowing they were exposed. What little
rabies exposure remains in the USA is usually from
wild animals, such as raccoons or bats, not domestic
pets of Riverside families. Rabies treatment for dog
bites or animal bites is virtually 100% effective.
Scarring and emotional trauma are of far greater
concern.
If you or one of your family members
has suffered a recent dog bite injury in Riverside
or San Bernardino, please call a Riverside dog bite
lawyer from our law firm today. One of our dog bite
attorneys in Riverside is on call 7 days a week to
answer your immediate questions about dog bites, dog
attacks and California dog bite liability, and dog
owner’s responsibility.
