Don’t Let Irresponsible Dog Owner off the Hook for Dog Bites

There are no bad dog breeds, merely bad dog owners – That is what you should keep in mind after a dog bite incident. After you are attacked by a dog, you can be left with a considerable injury as well as psychological trauma. This means you not only have to deal with the physical burden of medical bills but the pain and suffering that can come after a traumatic incident with a dog.

However, while the attack may seem like the dog’s fault, in the state of California, dog owners are automatically liable for any injuries caused by the dog, even if they weren’t around when it happened. Even if their dog has never exhibited any signs of aggressiveness, they are still responsible for their pet’s actions. What this means is that dog owners have a responsibility to prevent any attacks, and they should be held accountable for that.

If you were injured by a dog attack, you may not be willing to press charges, perhaps for the safety of the dog in question, but just because you are a dog lover doesn’t mean you should be stuck with those medical bills. Don’t suffer in silence, you are entitled to compensation from the owner.
