We understand the unique dangers and laws surrounding animal attacks. You deserve a lawyer who will fight like hell for your rights.

Legal Responsibilities of Dog Owners in California

California holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs, regardless of prior behavior. This means the owner is responsible if their dog bites or attacks someone, even if the dog has never shown aggression before.

Additionally, owners have a duty to:

  • Properly restrain and secure their animals
  • Warn visitors or passersby of any known dangers
  • Prevent their pets from running loose in public areas

When owners neglect these duties, we hold them accountable through vigorous legal action.
