Dog Bites

When animals attack, our attorneys fight back

The Truth About Dog Bite Injury Lawsuits in California

Dog bites and attacks can produce serious injuries and accompanying emotional trauma. California’s “strict liability” policy for dog bite cases states that dog owners are responsible for their animals if they attack another person. And under the State Civil Code, liable dog owners must pay damages for anyone who was bitten in a public or private place, even on the dog owner’s property. 

If you or a loved one were bitten, attacked, or injured by someone else’s dog, contact Cohn & Swartzon immediately. Our experienced attorneys can help you prove your case and make a strong legal claim for the compensation you’re entitled to.

I received a very fast and fair settlement.
“It was such a pleasure to be represented by Cohn & Swartzon, P.C. recently. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of honest, knowledgeable, and hard fighting attorneys. After a car accident which involved numerous injuries, I couldn't handle the stress of dealing with the insurance companies. They completely took over for me. They negotiated with the insurance companies and as a result of their determination, I received a very fast and fair settlement. All during this process, they kept me updated on all the proceedings, always returned my phone calls promptly and answered any questions I had. The entire staff at Cohn & Swartzon, P.C. were always courteous and helpful. Thank you ever so much!”- L.D.
