Who is responsible?

Whenever there has been an animal attack, there is always the big question; Who is responsible?  Typically, the owner of the dog is responsible for the injuries sustained.  As long as you were not provoking the dog in any manner, such as trespassing on the property that was clearly marked with the dog's presence or threatening the dog or owner in any way, the dog owner will usually be held accountable for the actions of the dog.   In the state of California, there are strict laws governing dog owners and their responsibilities to the public, and when they fail to meet their duty to ensure the safety of others they can be held responsible.

Many times children suffer serious injuries when attacked by a dog.  Children, especially small children, have the highest probability of suffering serious injuries in a dog attack.  It is not uncommon for a dog to attack a child for no apparent reason as larger dogs view the small child as prey, and a smaller dog will many times believe the child is a threat.  If your child has been attacked by a dog, it is important that you speak with our Los Angeles dog bite attorneys as soon as possible in order to properly protect your child and their rights.

The injury lawyers in our Los Angeles personal injury law firm will work with you in investigating the dog and owner, history of violence or other attacks.  If it is revealed that the negligence of the dog owner has caused the dog bites and injuries, you could be entitled to file a claim against the dog owner for monetary compensation.
