What Does California Law Say About Dog Bites and Dog Attacks

The United States has already had reports of 12 fatal dog attacks in the year 2009 already. In Los Angeles California, there is a great population of dog owners and those owners are responsible for the actions of their pet. When a dog bites someone else, California State law says that the pet owner is liable for the injury or injuries suffered by the victim of the dog attack. According to California’s civil code any victim of a Los Angeles Dog Attack or Dog Bite is legally able to file a Premises Liability charge against the owner of the dog and request that three types of punishments are imposed upon the negligent pet owner, but only by making two claims.

The three types of consequences included in Dog Bite laws are

1. The civil law requires that the pet owner be punished by paying money, and providing compensation to the victim’s injuries.
2. The criminal law enforces punished on the owner in some form.
3. The administrative law enforces the punishment against the dog itself.
