California Dog Bite Laws Protect Injury Victims

Understanding your legal rights can be important to protecting your claim and pursuing fair compensation.

Our attorneys represent clients injured in a variety of dog-related incidents, including:

  • Dog bites in public places
  • Dog bites on private property
  • Children injured by dogs
  • Delivery drivers and service workers
  • Postal and utility employees
  • Dog attacks resulting in permanent scarring or disfigurement

Frequently Asked Questions

1Who is responsible for a dog bite injury in California?
Under California law, dog owners are generally held strictly liable when their dog bites someone in a public place or while the injured person is lawfully on private property. In many cases, this means the injured person does not have to prove that the owner knew the dog was dangerous or that the dog had bitten someone before.

At Gor & Associates, our California dog bite attorneys carefully evaluate the circumstances of each case to determine potential liability and identify available sources of compensation.

We proudly represent clients throughout Glendale, Los Angeles, Orange, Laguna Hills, Fresno, and surrounding California communities.
2What compensation can I recover after a dog bite injury?
A serious dog bite can result in much more than immediate medical expenses. Depending on the circumstances of your case, you may be entitled to compensation for emergency medical treatment, surgeries, reconstructive procedures, rehabilitation, lost wages, future medical care, pain and suffering, emotional distress, permanent scarring, and loss of enjoyment of life.

Children may be especially vulnerable to lasting physical and emotional effects following a dog attack. At Gor & Associates, we work with medical professionals and other qualified experts when appropriate to document the full extent of your injuries and help pursue the compensation available under California law.
3Do I need a dog bite attorney if the insurance company offers a settlement?
Even when an insurance company accepts responsibility, an initial settlement offer may not fully account for the long-term effects of your injuries. Dog bite claims can involve future medical treatment, permanent scarring, emotional distress, and ongoing rehabilitation that may not be immediately apparent.

Before accepting a settlement, it is important to understand the potential value of your claim and the damages that may be available to you.

At Gor & Associates, our experienced California dog bite attorneys negotiate directly with insurance companies, protect your legal rights, and prepare each case with the possibility of litigation in mind. Our goal is to help you pursue a fair recovery while allowing you to focus on healing and moving forward.
