A dog bite can quickly turn an ordinary moment into a situation that requires immediate attention and long-term consideration. Habbas & Associates works with Los Angeles individuals and families to understand what happened and take meaningful steps toward recovery and accountability.
How Dog Bite Cases Work in California
California law provides clear protections for individuals injured by dog bites. In many situations, the dog owner is held responsible regardless of the animal’s prior behavior.
Under California Civil Code Section 3342, strict liability applies, meaning victims often have a direct path to compensation when a bite occurs. This framework removes many of the uncertainties that exist in other types of injury claims.
