Who Is Liable in a Dog Bite Case?

In California, dog owners are typically liable for dog bite injuries. This is because the state has strict liability, which means owners are responsible for injuries caused by their dogs. In most cases, the dog's owner is responsible for the dog's actions and will be required to pay for any damages.

Compensation for Dog Bite Injuries in Redding

Victims of dog bites can suffer a wide range of injuries. These injuries can cause significant pain and suffering, permanent disability, disfigurement, mental anguish, and more. In a dog bite case, the dog owner will be liable for all of these injuries and any associated damages. Damages typically awarded in a dog bite case may include:

• Medical expenses
• Lost wages
• Physical and emotional pain and suffering
• Property damage
• Disfigurement
• Scarring
• Reduced quality of life

These damages may be reduced or increased depending on the severity of the dog bite injury, the victim's resulting injuries, the victim's ability to recover, and other factors.

How Long Do I Have to File a Dog Bite Claim?

In California, dog bite claims have a statute of limitations of two years. This means that you have two years from the date of the dog bite injury to file a claim. If you wait longer than this to file, you may not be able to recover compensation for your injuries.
