Understanding Dog Bite Cases
California law generally holds dog owners responsible for injuries caused by their pets. This means victims may have a legal right to compensation, even if the dog has never shown aggression before.
Dog bite claims often involve insurance companies, which may attempt to limit or deny liability. A clear and well supported claim is essential.
