I WAS BITTEN BY A DOG. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE?

Stockton Personal Injury Attorney Helps Victims Of  Vicious Dog Bites & Attacks

If you or someone you know has been bitten by a dog, it’s important you contact an experienced personal injury attorney who can help you in your case. California is a strict liability state which means a dog owner is responsible for the injuries their dog causes, even if they didn’t do anything wrong. However, there are some circumstances that puts someone else partially responsible such as:

• Someone besides the owner was taking care of and hand control over the dog
• The dog’s owner is less than 18 years old
• The owner’s landlord knew the dog was dangerous but didn’t do anything about it
• The dog was on someone else’s property, and that person was negligent in not removing the dog
