Los Angeles Dog Bite Attorney | California Strict Liability

Bitten by a Dog? California Law Is on Your Side.

California has one of the strictest dog bite laws in the nation. Under California Civil Code Section 3342, a dog owner is strictly liable for injuries their dog causes — even if the dog has never bitten anyone before. You do not need to prove the owner knew the dog was dangerous. Attorney Michael P. Kade fights to recover full compensation for your injuries, medical bills, and emotional trauma.
