Understanding California's Dog Bite Law

California Law imposes strict liability for dog bites. A dog owner is generally automatically liable (legally responsible) for damages and injuries caused from a dog bite. Whether your dog bites another dog or person, it is important to understand how the law treats dogs after they bite or attack and what rights and responsibilities the victims and owners have.
