San Diego Dog Bite Attorney
Dog Bite Law is governed by statute and case law. In San Diego, typically, an owner of a dog is strictly liable for the dog bites that his or her dog causes. There are however, exceptions to every rule.
If you, a loved one or any one you know is attacked by a dog, the first thing to do is identify the dog and the owner or person in control. Make sure the authorities are called. Call police and/or animal control. Please do the best you can to document the scene of the attack and if at all possible, take photographs.
Do not delay in seeking medical attention, if necessary. In addition to lacerations and cuts, infections frequently occur in terms of dog attacks.
When interacting with your healthcare providers, please make sure you tell them all things you are dealing with, both physical and psychological. If you have nightmares associated with the attack, please let your healthcare providers know about this. Also, consult with plastic surgeons if you have noticeable scars.

What can you do to recover maximum damages after a vicious dog attack?
Not surprisingly, a dog cannot be sued. Under California law, typically, the dog owners are responsible for the actions of their animals. Typically, homeowners insurance would cover the harm caused by the insured’s dog owner.
