Their attorneys explain that California Civil Code 3342 establishes strict liability for dog owners when bites occur on public property or when victims are lawfully on private property. The firm helps identify liable parties, including property owners, landlords, and caretakers, while guiding clients through legal options like demand letters, court proceedings, and settlement negotiations. Their comprehensive approach involves documenting duty of care violations, analyzing attack circumstances, and calculating both economic damages (medical expenses, lost wages) and non-economic damages (trauma, suffering). The attorneys explore why dogs bite, from owner negligence to animal mistreatment, and remind clients that California’s statute of limitations requires filing within two years.
