Unfortunately, most of the deaths and serious injuries are children.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#dogfaq\">Top<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"damages\">Who pays the damages for dog bites?<\/h4>\n<p>This is a question often asked when a neighbor is the owner of the dog that bit you. Some people are concerned about damaging their relationship with their neighbor. However, in the vast majority of dog bite cases are covered by the dog owner&#8217;s homeowner&#8217;s insurance. In most cases your friend or neighbor will not need to pay anything out of pocket when they have homeowner&#8217;s insurance.

It doesn&#8217;t matter what the breed is, they all have the potential to bite and do bite. Obviously a Yorkie doesn&#8217;t have the same potential to cause serious injury as a Rottweiler or Pit Bull. Which is why you see such large breed dog attacks on the news. The tendency for a dog to bite is often the owner&#8217;s fault. However, dogs are territorial and defensive so they may bite simply because they perceive you as a threat or you wondered into what they claim as their territory. Usually young, unneutered males that are the most aggressive and therefore pose the greatest risk of biting. The most dangerous in terms of ability to inflict damage are the large breeds, however.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#dogfaq\">Top<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"california\">What are the dog bite laws of this state?<\/h4>\n<p>In California, dog owners are liable for all injuries their dog causes to someone else. The law does not take into account the fact that the dog has never bitten anyone before. So even one dog bite may create a problem for the dog and it&#8217;s owner. In this state, to establish a dog bite case, you only need to show that the bite occurred on public land or private property where the victim was there lawfully.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#dogfaq\">Top<\/a><\/p>\n<h4 id=\"lawsuit\">Do I need to file a lawsuit over a dog bite?<\/h4>\n<p>The victim of a dog bite does not always need to file a lawsuit to recover damages. In fact, it is typically faster and just as effective for your dog bite attorney to negotiate a settlement with the dog owner&#8217;s insurance company. However, in many cases the homeowner&#8217;s insurance company will resist paying all or part of the claim.
