While the statistics on dog bites are staggering, what is most disconcerting is that number of dog attacks is highest among children. Whether a dog bites a child or an adult, the results can be serious. A dog bite produces between 200 and 450 pounds per square inch (psi) of pressure. This is enough to damage bones, muscles, tendons and nerves. Children are most often bitten in the neck or face causing extensive scaring.

Handling Cases Involving Dog Bites

When put into threatening situations, almost any type of dog may bite. However, some dogs are more likely to bite than others:

  • Pit bull
  • Rottweiler
  • German Shepherd
  • Huskies
  • Wolf-dog hybrid

California applies a strict liability standard when it comes to dog bites. Dog owners are responsible for the actions of their dogs whether or not they knew their dog was dangerous. Our attorneys have successfully represented a number of dog bite victims. We recognize that being bitten by a dog is a traumatic experience. Kids bitten by dogs may experience nightmares and be afraid of family pets. When we handle a dog bite case, we are committed to helping people obtain optimal compensation for the physical, financial and psychological impact of dog bites.
