What Our Clients Say

What Is a Dog Bite Injury Claim?

In California, dog owners are strictly liable for injuries their animals cause, under California Civil Code § 3342. That means if a dog bites you in a public place, or lawfully in a private place, the owner is responsible, even if the dog had never bitten anyone before.

Common dog bite scenarios include:

  • Unprovoked attacks at parks, sidewalks, or in neighborhoods
  • Bites on someone’s property when you had a legal right to be there
  • Delivery drivers or workers attacked while performing their duties
  • Children bitten by dogs at homes, apartments, or events

Dog bites can cause:

  • Severe lacerations and deep puncture wounds
  • Nerve damage or loss of function
  • Infections requiring hospitalization
  • Scarring and disfigurement
  • Emotional trauma and PTSD

You have the right to pursue compensation for your injuries and hold negligent dog owners accountable for their lack of control and care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do after a dog bite?

Seek medical attention immediately, even if the wound seems minor. Then report the bite to animal control and contact a lawyer. Quick action helps protect your health and your legal rights.

Is the dog owner always responsible in California?

Yes. California follows a strict liability rule, meaning the owner is responsible even if the dog had no history of aggression. This makes it easier for victims to hold negligent owners accountable.

Can I file a claim if the dog owner is a friend or neighbor?

Yes, and often their homeowner’s insurance will cover your claim, not them personally. You can seek compensation without damaging personal relationships.

What damages can I recover after a dog bite?

You may be entitled to compensation for medical bills, future treatments, pain and suffering, emotional trauma, and lost income. Every case is different, and we fight to maximize what you’re owed.

What if I was partially at fault?

Even if you were partly at fault, you may still recover damages, California uses comparative negligence rules. Your compensation may be reduced, but you can still win a settlement.

How long do I have to file a dog bite claim?

In California, you generally have two years from the date of the bite to file a lawsuit. Acting quickly helps preserve important evidence and strengthens your case.

Will my case go to trial?

Many dog bite cases settle outside of court, but we prepare every case for trial to ensure you’re taken seriously. We’re ready to negotiate, or fight in court if needed.

How much does it cost to hire Cha Cha Cha Law?

Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency-based fee, which means we only get paid if we win/settle your case.
