Dog bites carry risks of infection, nerve damage, and scarring. Visit an Orange County emergency room for wound treatment, antibiotics, and documentation of your injuries.
File a report with Orange County Animal Care. An official report creates a record of the incident and any prior history of aggression for the dog involved.
Get the owner’s name, contact details, and address. Ask about the dog’s vaccination records. Collect information from any witnesses who saw the attack.
California has strict liability for dog bites. Our Orange County attorneys know how to establish the owner’s responsibility and pursue maximum compensation.
Orange County is home to hundreds of thousands of dogs, and bite incidents occur regularly in parks, on sidewalks, in apartment complexes, at outdoor dining areas, and in residential neighborhoods. Communities with high pet density, limited yard space, and popular walking trails see elevated rates of dog attacks throughout the year.
California is a strict liability state for dog bites, meaning the owner is responsible regardless of whether the dog has bitten before. This is stronger protection than the one bite rule used in many other states. Our attorneys also investigate whether landlords, property managers, or dog care providers share responsibility for the attack.
Dog bite victims in California benefit from strict liability protections. Case value depends on the severity of the bite, wound location, 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.
