California Dog Bite Lawyer — Protecting Victims of Dog Attacks Statewide
Dog attacks can cause serious and life-changing injuries. While some victims suffer minor puncture wounds, others experience severe trauma, disfigurement, nerve damage, infections, or permanent scarring. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs every year, and an estimated 800,000 require medical attention. Dog bites account for 85–90% of all animal-related injuries and make up roughly 1% of emergency room visits in the United States.
If you or a loved one has suffered a dog bite or dog attack in California, you may be entitled to compensation under California’s strict liability dog bite law. At Alemi Law Group, PC, we represent dog bite victims throughout the entire state and fight aggressively to hold negligent dog owners accountable.

California’s Strict Liability Dog Bite Law
California is one of the strongest states for dog bite victim protection. Under California Civil Code §3342, dog owners are strictly liable if their dog bites someone — meaning the victim does not need to prove:
- Prior aggression
- Negligence
- The dog’s history
- Whether the owner knew the dog was dangerous
If a dog bites a person in a public place or lawfully on private property, the owner is responsible, regardless of whether the dog has bitten before.

- Deep puncture wounds
