Each year, there are approximately 4.7 million dog bites in the United States with a large percentage of these requiring medical care.

In California, we have strict liability laws when it comes to the owner of a dog. Consequently, an owner is “strictly liable’ for any injuries caused by that dog.

In the case of strict liability, the owner or keeper is responsible to pay for a victim’s damages if the dog has caused an injury on public or private property if the victim was there legally.
