California Dog Bite Law - Strict Liability
Under California Civil Code Section 3342, dog owners are strictly liable for bite injuries regardless of the dog's history. No need to prove the owner knew the dog was dangerous. We handle dog bite claims, animal attack injuries, scarring and disfigurement, emotional distress, and wrongful death from dog attacks.
Two-year statute of limitations. Free consultation: (818) 514-7680.
Fees, Costs and Case Results
Where representation is offered on a contingency basis there is no attorney fee unless we recover, and the firm advances case costs — filing fees, expert witnesses and medical records — which are then repaid out of any recovery. If there is no recovery, you owe no attorney fee. The specific terms that apply to a matter are set out in the written fee agreement for that matter.
Where this site refers to a verdict, settlement or court order, that result was dependent on the facts of that case, and results will differ if based on different facts. Past results do not predict or guarantee the outcome of any other matter, and no particular outcome is promised or guaranteed.
