What To Do If A Dog Bites Or Attacks You?

When dogs act out and attack and/or bite you, it is an extremely terrifying situation to be in. It comes unexpectedly. It’s essential to know the statute of limitations you have in state of California for bringing forth suit. You should also know what liability dog owners have as well as arguments they may use against your claim.

Statute Of Limitations The owner of the dog will be liable to pay the victim in damages if the person was bit in either a public place or a lawfully private place. The exception to this statue is if someone suffered a dog bite or attack from a dog that is carrying out military or police work.

What Liabilities Do Dog Owners Have?

If their dog injuries someone while biting and/or attacking them, then they are held liable for injury costs. California has a “strict liability� rule.

The owner is ultimately held responsible in almost all cases if their dog bites and/or attacks someone.

What Arguments May They Use Against Your Claim?

However, in certain cases, the owner may not be held completely liable for the actions of their dog. If you make actions toward a dog that a reasonable person would think would provoke the dog, then you likely won’t win your claim and the owner will not be held liable.
