San Jose Dog Bite Lawyer

Helping Clients Across California with Dog Bite Claims

Every year, innocent people are attacked by dogs. Dogs on the loose attack strangers,; sometimes a dog on a leash will attack someone the dog already knows. Regardless of the scenario, everyone has rights – including not being a victim to dog attacks. If a dog has attacked you or someone you know, it is your right to get a dog bite injury lawyer!

Lawsuits are not uncommon for dog attacks. They can teach the owner of the dog responsibility and hold them responsible for the dog's actions. Being bitten by a dog can be a terrifying scenario – one that can cause a lot of trauma for many years to come.

If you or your loved one has recently been attacked or bit by a dog, you may have a right to recover your damages by filing a personal injury claim against the dog's owner. Each year, thousands of injured dog bite victims pursue lawsuits against at-fault dog owners, many of which aim to recover compensation for medical expenses, costs of therapy, emotional injuries, pain and suffering, and lost work wages, among other damages.

Victims' Rights After a Dog Bite

It isn't right that you have to pay medical bills and deal with emotional trauma because a dog attacked you. In many cases, people have been able to get financial compensation for their medical bills and suffering because a dog owner could not control their pet. Compensation may include the costs of medical treatment, therapy expenses, lost work wages, and pain and suffering, among other damages.

We also emphasize helping our clients understand their rights, so we've included a few important things you should know about California's dog bite laws.

  • Under California Civil Code § 3342, the dog owner is liable for damages victims suffer when bitten by a dog while in a public place or lawfully in a private place. This is known as strict liability.
  • Dog owners can be held liable even if they have no history of attacks or viciousness.
  • California's strict liability dog bite law does not apply to victims trespassing on another's property or when the dog was on duty for the military or law enforcement.
  • Victims may be eligible to recover any physical, emotional, and financial damages that result directly from the dog bite attack.

Our San Jose dog bite attorneys help victims understand California dog bite laws, exercise their rights, and get compensation for their injuries.
