Dog bites carry risks of infection, nerve damage, and scarring. Visit a Los Angeles emergency room for wound treatment, antibiotics, and documentation of your injuries.
File a report with Los Angeles Animal Services or the county animal control department. An official report creates a record of the incident and the dog’s history.
Get the owner’s name, contact information, and address. Ask about the dog’s vaccination history. Collect details from any witnesses who saw the attack.
California has strict liability for dog bites. Our Los Angeles attorneys know how to establish the owner’s responsibility and pursue maximum compensation for your injuries.
Los Angeles County is home to millions of dogs, and bite incidents occur regularly in parks, on sidewalks, in apartment complexes, at outdoor dining areas, and in residential neighborhoods across the region. Dense urban neighborhoods, limited yard space, and high pedestrian traffic create conditions that increase the risk of dog attacks.
California is a strict liability state for dog bites, meaning the owner is responsible for injuries regardless of whether the dog has bitten before. This is stronger protection than the one bite rule used in many other states. If a dog bites you in Los Angeles, the owner is liable for your damages. Our attorneys also investigate whether landlords, property managers, or animal care providers share responsibility for the attack.
Dog bite victims in California benefit from strict liability protections. The value of your case depends on the severity of the bite, the location of wounds, the need for reconstructive procedures, and the emotional impact of the attack.
Emergency room treatment, wound cleaning, stitches, antibiotics, and tetanus shots required immediately following the dog bite attack.
Plastic surgery, skin grafts, scar revision, and follow up procedures for bites causing visible disfigurement or functional impairment.
Therapy and counseling for PTSD, fear of dogs, nightmares, and the emotional trauma that often follows a violent animal attack.
Wages and earning opportunities lost while recovering from the physical injuries and psychological effects of the dog bite.
Dog attacks happen in many settings across Los Angeles County. Our attorneys have experience with the full range of animal attack cases and the legal strategies each requires under California strict liability law.
Loose dogs escaping yards and approaching pedestrians, joggers, and children on Los Angeles sidewalks and residential streets.
Inadequate pet policies, broken gates, and lack of leash enforcement in LA apartment communities contribute to preventable attacks on residents and visitors.
Off leash dogs at Griffith Park, Runyon Canyon, and neighborhood parks can attack visitors, runners, and leashed pets without warning.
Children are the most vulnerable victims. Bites to the face, head, and neck cause permanent scarring and deep emotional trauma that affects development.
Mail carriers and delivery drivers bitten while working on Los Angeles properties have strong claims against negligent dog owners who failed to restrain their animals.
Los Angeles landlords who allow tenants to keep dangerous dogs or fail to enforce pet policies can share liability for attacks on their property.

Visible scarring and disfigurement, especially on the face and hands, significantly increase compensation. These damages cover emotional distress and diminished quality of life.
Provocation can be a defense in California dog bite cases. However, the definition of provocation is narrow. Normal interactions like petting or walking near a dog do not constitute provocation.
The statute of limitations is two years from the date of the attack. Acting quickly preserves critical evidence like animal control records and medical documentation.
