You or your family members have the right to employ a lawyer if a dog owned by someone else and you are harmed. The lawyer then seeks compensation. Dog bite wounds have long-term effects on the body, including scarring and illness. This might result in lost employment, costly rehab, and even a lifelong impairment. The injury induced by the dog bite might leave you with emotional distress, which could impact your relationships with your loved ones and colleagues, and lower your productivity at work since you will not be able to participate in activities you once enjoyed. The law is clear on dog attacks, and your rights must be protected immediately. California's strict liability laws require dog owners to cover the expenses associated with most dog bite injuries. If a dog owner's dog bites you, regardless of whether they knew it was a biter, the dog owner is liable.
