California’s strict liability law holds dog owners responsible for bite injuries regardless of the animal’s prior behavior.
If an attack caused you medical bills, lost wages, or lasting harm, you have the right to seek compensation.
The state ranks among the highest in the country for dog bite insurance claims filed each year. Many victims face injuries that go well beyond the wound itself: emergency care, follow-up procedures, and weeks away from work.
The financial strain arrives fast, and the emotional effects often outlast the physical recovery. Insurance companies regularly minimize what they owe or dispute liability outright. At Desert Injury Law, we know the strict liability rules and how to build a claim the insurer cannot casually dismiss.
Desert Injury Law represents dog bite victims across the state, from the Coachella Valley and surrounding desert communities to the greater Los Angeles area and the Inland Empire.
Attacks happen in neighborhoods, parks, apartment complexes, and private homes, affecting children, delivery workers, joggers, and anyone near an unrestrained animal. The state’s strict liability law does not require proof that the dog had a prior bite history.
If the attack occurred while you were lawfully present, liability generally follows. We walk with clients through every stage of the process, from the initial claim and insurance negotiations through trial when the insurer refuses to settle fairly.
