DOG BITE INCIDENT FAQ 

Q: Who can be held liable for a dog bite?  

A: California’s law states that “The owner of any dog is liable for the damages suffered by any person who is bitten by the dog while in a public place or lawfully in a private place, including the property of the owner of the dog, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner's knowledge of such viciousness.” So, the dog owner is only strictly liable if the injured victim: 

  • Was bitten, even if the animal bite does not break the skin.  
  • Was in a public place or “lawfully in a private place” when the dog bite occurred.
  • A person performing a legal duty (such as delivering mail) can be lawfully on private property.  

This statute does not apply if a victim suffered a dog bite attack caused by police or military dogs that were on duty or defending themselves against irritating behavior.  

Q: How bad does a dog bite have to be to have a case? 

A: A dog bite doesn’t have to be severe to cause damage. You may be eligible for compensation in your legal case even if you have a minor dog bite. Call our law office to find out if you have a substantial personal injury claim.

Q: How long do I have to file a dog bite case in California?

A:  The statute of limitations (or time deadline) to sue for a dog bite in California is two years. The two-year period begins on the date the animal attack occurs. 

Q: Can I get rabies from a dog bite? 

A:  Yes, the Center of Disease Control states that “rabies is transmitted through direct contact with saliva or brain/nervous system tissue from an infected animal.” Dog bites can be fatal if you are bit by a rabid dog. If you are attacked by a rabid dog, you should seek immediate medical attention.
