Riverside Dog Bite Injury Attorney

Liability in a Riverside Dog Bite/Dog Attack Case

In California, a dog owner will be held strictly liable if his or her animal injures someone. This "strict liability" rule means that the dog does not need to have a violent past or a history of having bitten someone before to be held accountable. The dog owner will be liable, legally responsible, for any injuries the dog inflicts, even if the dog showed no history of aggression or violence in the past. The only exception to dog owner liability is in a case that involves a victim who provoked the dog or was trespassing on the owner's property.
