Dog and Animal Bite Attorney Serving Ontario, CA

Injured by a Dog or other Animal in Ontario? We Can Help.

While many dogs are friendly, other dogs have the potential to seriously harm people without warning. Statistics reveal that each year, there are over 20 fatal dog attacks in the United States. Even though fatalities due to dog bites are relatively rare, additional statistics report 800,000 dog bites each year .The damage that can arise from these issues involve a variety of complications including anxiety, cuts, depression, infections, nerve damage, permanent disfigurement, post traumatic stress disorder, and puncture wounds. Dog owners have a legal responsibility to prevent their pets from harming others and when they cannot, injury claims may help ease the burden placed on victims with respect to physical harm, emotional trauma and financial hardship.

Applicable California Law Regarding Animal and Dog Bites – Applies to Victims in Ontario, CA

The owner of a dog is liable for emotional and or physical damages caused to any individual who is bitten by the dog or animal while the victim is either lawfully in a private place or in a public place. A person is considered to be lawfully on the private property of another person when that individual is on the property of another with the property owner’s express or implied consent. Simply put, this could apply to a person visiting a friend, neighbors talking on the front lawn or even to home repair or service providers.

The dog’s former propensity for violence, previous reports of the dog attacking others, or the individual’s knowledge that the dog has a vicious nature cannot stand as a defense in these cases. Even if these elements exist, a dog’s owner can still be held responsible for the violent actions of the dog when attacks occur and victims in Ontario are injured.
