Liability in Los Angeles Animal Attack Claims

Skilled Animal Attack Lawyers

Despite some people's opinions that their animal is domesticated or calm and relaxed, all animals still have a hunting and survival instinct.  Unfortunately, some animals may be frightened where they feel as though they need to defend themselves or their hunting instinct may engage.  Therefore all animal owners, custodians and animal keepers must exercise proper care and diligence in protecting others from their potentially dangerous animal.  These people must act in this manner, irrespective of the size of the animal, and whether or not it is a domesticated, tame or a wild animal.  A Los Angeles Animal Attack Lawyer can assist you in providing guidance as well as your available options in pursing compensation for your serious animal attack injuries.

Strict Liability Los Angeles, California Animal Attacks

If the animal is a wild animal or an undomesticated animal, such as a wild bear, a tiger, an elephant or a wolf, then the owner is strictly liable for any injuries the wild animal causes.  This is true even if the wild animal owner took every precaution in preventing the wild animal from escaping or attacking anyone.  This type of liability for these types of animal attacks is referred to as strict liability.  One of the aspects in proving strict liability and recovering for your Southern California animal attack injuries is to prove that the animal is a wild, non-domesticated, animal.  This is necessary, because the owner of the wild animal has accepted liability by deciding to own such a dangerous and vicious animal which subsequently attacked you.
