• Take pictures/videos of the dog

CALIFORNIA’S STRICT LIABILITY DOG BITE LAWS

Dog owners in California have a “strict liability” towards any injuries that their pet causes, which means that you don’t necessarily have to prove a dog owner’s negligence in these types of personal injury litigation processes. It’s also important to note that a dog owner’s strict liability applies anywhere, whether it was on a private property or in a public space. 

What’s important to keep in mind is that there are some exceptions to these strict liability dog bite laws, including if you were trespassing on private property or if you antagonized or harassed the dog. Another exception would be if the dog is protecting their owner from you as a form of self-defense. 

But beyond these very few exceptions, you’ll be entitled to compensation for your injuries and subsequent damages when a dog attacks you. Our experienced Beverly Hills dog bite attorneys will help you prove the following to bolster your case:

• That the party you’re seeking compensation from owned the dog at the time of the attack
• That you were lawfully on public or private property when the dog attack occurred
• That you suffered serious injuries that resulted in various damages

WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON INJURIES ASSOCIATED WITH DOG BITES IN BEVERLY HILLS?
