Dog Bites, Animal Bites - Ventura Lawyer
Owners Need to Be Responsible for Their Dogs Behavior
A dog bite attack can be a traumatic experience that may cause severe and long-lasting injuries. Dog Breeds such as Rottweiler, Pit Bull, and Chow can inflict serious wounds, but even small dogs such as Terriers and Chihuahuas can cause damage. If you or a loved one is the victim of a dog bite you should seek immediate medical assistance and then contact an experienced California dog bite lawyer as soon as possible.
Clear Case for Legal Responsibility
In California, when a dog bite causes injuries, the owner or person responsible for the dog is legally obligated to pay the animal attack victim's damages. The Law Office of Robert P. Jennings represents adults and children suffering from dog bites, mauling or attack injuries such as:
- Facial scarring
- Head trauma
- Loss of fingers, ears or other body parts
- Nerve damage
- Muscle damage
- Disfigurement
- Severe cuts and scrapes
- Broken bones
- Loss of vision
- Wrongful death
California has enacted statutes which hold a dog owner liable for a dog bite attack even if the dog has never bitten anyone. This is called strict liability. These types of statutes effectively eliminate the "one-free bite" rule because liability is based upon ownership. It is irrelevant whether the dog bit someone previously or whether the owner knew the dog could be vicious. Attorney Robert Jennings, as an experienced lawyer, can help you determine how you will be compensated for the pain, suffering and potentially permanent injuries caused by the dog or animal attack.
