THE INS AND OUTS OF DOG BITE CASES WHAT MAKES OR BREAKS THEM While we all love our four-legged furry family members, sometimes our neighbors’ pets can be aggressive and act out, biting family members or friends. If this happens to you, you might be reluctant to report it. However, know you’re not alone, as almost 2% of the entire population is bitten every year. When this happens, it’s important to remain calm and recognize the factors that can significantly affect the outcomes of these cases. DETERMINING FAULT The biggest factor of dog-bite cases is determining who is at fault, whether it’s the dog owner or the injured party. For instance, if someone is cutting through a person’s yard on a corner to reach the other street faster, the injured party might be at fault. This is considered trespassing, which will guarantee the injured party is at fault and will not receive compensation. DOG SUPERVISION Many dog-bite cases involve dogs who were improperly supervised by their owners, which entails evaluating how the animal was treated. In these situations, it’s common for the dogs to act out in response to mistreatment or abuse. For instance, not locking a gate or allowing a dog to roam without a leash is cause for the owner to be liable if someone is injured.
GENERAL MISCONCEPTIONS Most people are unaware of this, but California dog-bite law imposes strict liability on dog owners. This means owners of dogs that have bitten someone are liable in a civil lawsuit for the victim’s injuries. This is in effect even if the dog has no history of violence and the owner did nothing wrong. This negates the “one-bite rule” that is in effect in other states. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your dog-bite case, give us a call at (619) 231-1883. We will work with you to ensure you’re fairly compensated.
