Understanding California Dog Bite Law
Under California law, owners are strictly accountable if their dog assaults and injures another person. Even if the owner was not negligent and their dog had never bitten before, they could still be held accountable for the damage you incurred due to their dog’s assault. Section 3342 of the California Civil Code addresses such liability arising from a dog bite or attack.
How to Prove Negligence in a Dog Bite Case?
In order to establish negligence in a dog bite lawsuit, you must be able to prove:
- The dog bit the victim in a public area or while the victim was lawfully on private property
- The dog bite caused the victim to sustain an injury (or injuries)
- The dog bite was a significant element in the injury
