Orange County Dog Bite Attorney

Dog Bites are becoming all too common in Orange County. This is largely due to a choice to ignore certain safety rules required by California. A person who has control of an animal and who subsequently causes injury and damage may be liable for those damages. California law protects the community by making the owner of a dog liable for any damages suffered from a dog attack. Prior attacks or the owners awareness of a propensity to attack does not have any bearing in California. An owner is said to be strictly liable for the attack. This is a higher standard of care over negligence. An owner of a dog is liable even if they were careful. Other factors involved in evaluating a dog bit case is whether the animal was provoked or whether the injured person was trespassing.

The attorneys at Johnson Attorneys have represented many individuals who suffered injuries due to dog bite attacks. The injuries are extremely serious. Often there are severe puncture wounds and bites to the body. The first thing that must be done is to see a physician. The wounds must be treated properly. Untreated wounds could become infected and could lead to infection and possible amputation. Child injuries are even more serious and must be addressed immediately.

Immediately following the attack, an investigation must take place both privately and by the appropriate government agency responding and investigating the dog. Sometimes, the dog is put to sleep since the owner cannot control it and randomly attacks at will.
