Dog Bite Attorney San Diego
Gateway Personal Injury Law Firm the Dog Bite Experts
Dogs bite millions of people annually. The Centers for Disease Control, estimated that nearly 2% of U.S. citizens, or approximately about 4.7 million people, suffer dog bite injuries each year. Dog bites can range from minor skin lacerations to dog bites causing a serious injury that might require surgery and could lead to physical and emotional trauma.
Dog owners are liable for their dog’s actions and behavior. If a dog is unrestrained and leaves the confines of a person’s property and bites someone, then the owner of that dog is negligent and is liable for all damages caused to the dog bite victim. If a dog unleashed in an area where it is required to be leashed, and the dog bites a person, then the dog owner is negligent and is responsible for the repercussions of his or her dog’s actions. Even if the dog is on its owner’s property, and a visitor is injured by the dog, the owner is negligent and is responsible for the injury.
If a dog is deemed abnormally aggressive and violent, possibly the dog has been abused by its owner or trained for aggression, the dog owner can face serious criminal charges including jail time as well as civil penalties. Dog bite injuries should not be taken lightly, and dog owners are ultimately responsible for all instances when their dog injuries a person.
