Dog bite cases are often complex and involve strict deadlines. In California, dog owners are held strictly liable for bites, meaning victims don’t have to prove the dog’s history of aggression—only that the attack occurred under qualifying conditions.
Dog bites can cause puncture wounds, broken bones, nerve damage, infections (such as rabies or tetanus), and psychological trauma like PTSD. Emotional suffering can be as significant as physical injuries, requiring therapy or counseling.
