In California, there is a dog bite statute. As long as the child did not antagonize the dog and the child was lawfully in the location where he or she was bit, this is strict liability against the owner of the dog.

What would you like to know. It is "strict liablity" for dog bites causing injury.

In most cases it is strict liability. This means that no matter what, the dog owner is responsible for your child's injuries. Children's dog bite attack cases can cause long lasting mental and emotional damages to children. Before you settle your claim, make sure you speak with a dog bite lawyer who can discuss all of the different options. I would love to provide you more information if you like.
