If you were bitten or attacked by a dog, you have the right to be compensated for your injuries. Dog bite laws vary from state to state, and it is therefore important to work with a dog bite lawyer who knows the specific laws that apply where you live.
Dog bite laws in California are very strict and are designed to protect the victims of a dog bite attack. In fact, the State of California is so serious about protecting dog bite victims that it eliminated its “one-free bite” rule.
California Civil Code 3342(a) states: The owner of any dog is liable for the damages suffered by any person who is bitten by the dog while in a public place or lawfully in a private place, including the property of the owner of the dog, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner’s knowledge of such viciousness.
