Los Angeles Dog Bite Attorneys

Dog Bite Negligence

In some situations, an owner’s negligence or improper conduct will lead to a dog attack or dog bite. If this is the case, your dog bite lawyer will fight to get the compensation you need for medical damages, lost wages, emotional pain and suffering, and any other losses resulting from the attack. When negligence is involved in a dog bite claim, an unreasonable act or omission of any kind is used to prove liability. This can include one of many factors, including:

• Mishandling a dog: dealing with a dog in an incompetent way, or treating a dog roughly by way of abuse or neglect.
• Violating an animal control law, such as failing to use a leash in a public place.
• Failing to exercise reasonable control over a dog. An example would be: allowing a dog to jump on a person or bite a person because of a failure to hold it back with its leash or otherwise restrain it.
• Putting a dog in a situation where it is likely to cause injury or become dangerous. Even a gentle animal may become violent in a situation where it feels threatened or frightened. A dog owner has a responsibility to understand what this type of situation may be in regards to their specific animal.
