Understanding Dog Bite Claims

Dog bite claims revolve around the liability of the dog owner for any injuries caused by their pet. In California, the law holds dog owners strictly liable for any damages caused if the dog bites someone while they are in a public place or lawfully in a private place. This means that regardless of the dog's previous behavior, the owner may be responsible for the harm inflicted.
