Each year, almost 5 million dog bites occur in the U.S. Of that total, almost half of the attacks involve children.
The state of California recognizes both that the rate of dog bites is unacceptable and that dog owners bear a large portion of the blame by having in place "strict liability" laws regarding dog bites. This means that, in California, owners are liable for injuries when their dogs attack. Victims do not have to prove that negligence occurred. The negligence is assumed. Victims' main challenge following an attack is in determining the value of the injuries and loss and in negotiating a highest-possible settlement amount or litigating a highest-possible verdict.
