Dog Bites

When Owners Are Liable

Dogs are often kept as household pets and are commonly referred to as a “man’s best friend.” However, what occurs when this cherished companion turns aggressive and attacks an individual? In households across the U.S., there are approximately 90 million dogs being kept as pets, and more than 4 million Americans experience dog bites annually, with nearly 20% of these incidents necessitating medical treatment. Most commonly, dog bites target extremities such as the arms, hands, legs and feet.

Various states have distinct approaches when it comes to dog bite incidents. California operates as a “strict liability” state regarding dog bites, which implies that the owner’s intent or awareness holds no relevance in determining liability. In California, an owner cannot evade responsibility for a dob bite by asserting ignorance of the dog’s potential aggression. Regardless of whether the dog has a history of biting, the owner is accountable for all damages stemming from a dog bite.
