Every year, millions of innocent people are bitten and seriously injured by dogs in the U.S. In fact, every year there are more than 850,000 dog bites requiring medical attention and over four million dog bites ranging from minor nips to serious dog maulings resulting in serious bodily injury and even death. At least fifteen people die each year as a result of dog attacks in the United States. Unfortunately the majority of dog bite victims are children, and in approximately 75% of child dog bite cases, the dog belongs to a family member or friend.
On every dog bite case we always start with the local animal shelter in the area of the incident and the local county health department to investigate with the address of the dog owner to see what prior records concerning dog bite attacks they have on the address and under the dog owner’s name. We obtain licensing and vaccination history and, if appropriate, subpoena veterinarian records and depose the dog owners to look for inconsistencies in their description of dog behavior, the dog's training, background and prior aggressive behavior.
Although certain dog breeds are stated to be more ferocious than others, there are many dog breeds which are capable of causing serious injury and death.

In California, a dog’s behavior is always the responsibility of its owner. Meaning that if a dog bites someone, the owner is liable regardless of the dog’s breed or the reason the attack. A dog's owner cannot avoid his or her liability by attempting to prove that he or she did not realize the dog would bite or by stating that the dog had never bitten anyone in the past. This is irrelevant. Liability is based upon ownership of the dog.
