Dog Owner Liability
California is one of the few states that has a dog bite statute. Previous knowledge that an animal has injured a person is not required. The prior behavior or aggrssiveness of an animal is not necessary to pursue a case. The statute is designed to prevent dogs from being a hazard in the community. Therefore, liability is automatic.
