Dog Bite
California dog owners are strictly liable when their dog bites another person. If you have been injured by a dog bite, contact our dog bite attorney. A Sacramento dog bite attorney can help you recover compensation for your medical bills, lost or reduced earning capacity, and pain and suffering.
The California “dog bite statute” makes dog owners 100% responsible when their dog bites another person who is lawfully on private or public property. It doesn’t matter if the dog has never attacked another person or if the dog owner was unaware of the viciousness of their dog. If you can identify the dog that bit you and its owner you have a strong position for holding the dog owner liable for your injuries. However, your right to file a lawsuit against the dog owner to recover compensation is not unlimited. You generally have 2 years from the date of the dog bite to file a lawsuit. If you miss that deadline the statute of limitations will prevent you from filing the lawsuit. Therefore, if is important to contact a dog bite attorney in Sacramento as soon as possible. The attorney will need to negotiate with the defendant’s insurance company for some time before the 2 year period expires.

To be negligent the driver must have failed to exercise ordinary care which resulted in your injury. A driver can fail to exercise ordinary care in a number of ways. Chief among them include driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, violating a rule of the road such as stopping at stop signs, speeding, not maintaining their vehicle, or rear-ending the car in front of them. Once negligence is determined you can recover compensation for pain and suffering, lost earnings, medical expenses, property damage, and emotional distress.
