The Truth About Dog Bite Injury Lawsuits in Orange County
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.
