TOP CALIFORNIA DOG BITE ATTORNEYS
In California, a dog’s owner is always responsible for the behavior of its dog. The law is clear: if a dog bites someone, the owner will be held liable regardless of the reason the attack or the breed of the animal. In short, an owner cannot avoid his or her liability by trying to establish that he or she did not realize the dog would bite someone. Likewise, the owner of a dog cannot claim that ther eis no liability since the dog had never bitten anyone in the past. This is wholly irrelevant. In a dog bite case, liability is placed on the owner, strictly on that relationship.
At Lee & Kaufman, LLP, we are here to help with your dog bite case. We recognize that every year, millions of innocent people are mauled and bitten by dogs which are dangerous. At least twelve (12) people die every year from dog related attacks in the United States. Specifically, every year there are over 700,000 dog bites that require medical attention. There are over three (3) million dog bites that occur, from minor nips to serious maulings, all of which may result in serious injuries, to the end of one's life. Amazingly, the majority of these injuries are sustained by children. Quite often the dog which is the subject of the attack, belongs to a friend or family member.
Certain dog breeds are believed to be more ferocious than others. Given the strict liability which typically attaches to the owner of a biting animal, the breed of the animal is not important. What is important is that should you be a victim of such an attack, you have legal rights to recovery monetary compensation for your injuries and damages. Lee & Kaufman, LLP are here for you.
