THE IMPACT OF DOG BITE INJURIES
Dog bites can lead to serious physical injuries, long-term psychological and emotional effects, and significant financial burdens. California consistently ranks among the top states for dog bite incidents, many of which result in hospital visits, reconstructive surgeries, or long-term disability. Victims may suffer from infection, nerve damage, permanent scarring, and other harms that affect daily life.
CALIFORNIA’S DOG BITE LAWS
California follows a “strict liability” rule when it comes to dog bites. This means that a dog owner is legally responsible for injuries caused by their dog, regardless of whether the dog has shown aggression in the past. Victims do not have to prove the owner was negligent – only that the bite occurred in a public place or while lawfully on private property. The rules and regulations in Los Angeles are even stricter than state laws.
The statute of limitations for filing a dog bite injury claim in California is generally two years from the date of the incident. You don’t want to be barred from collecting the compensation you are owed, so the sooner you can call an attorney, the better.
WHAT SHOULD I DO IF I’M BITTEN BY A DOG IN CALIFORNIA?
Knowing what to do after a dog bite can make a major difference in your recovery and your case outcome. Here’s what you should do if you’re bitten or attacked by a dog anywhere in California:
- Seek medical attention immediately — even small bites can lead to infection.
- Report the incident to animal control or your local health department.
- Document your injuries by taking photos and keeping records.
- Collect contact information for the dog owner and any witnesses.
- Avoid speaking with insurance companies before consulting a lawyer.
- Contact MKP Law Group, LLP for a free, confidential consultation.
We can begin building your case and protecting your rights from day one.
HOW MUCH IS MY DOG BITE CASE WORTH IN CALIFORNIA?
Every dog bite case is unique, but many victims are entitled to compensation for:
- Current and future medical expenses
- Lost income and reduced earning capacity
- Pain and suffering
- Emotional distress and PTSD
- Rehabilitation or cosmetic surgery
MKP Law Group, LLP works tirelessly to ensure that all your damages are fully considered and that you receive the maximum compensation available under California law.
We’ll explore all available avenues for compensation, including homeowner’s or renter’s insurance policies and potential third-party liability.
California follows a comparative fault rule, meaning your compensation may be reduced but not eliminated based on your degree of responsibility.
Every case is different, but most dog bite claims resolve within a few months to a year. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

Jordan Peagler was a pleasure to work with. My special needs son's was attacked by a dog and Jordan immediately recommended us to all the right doctors and quickly secured a settlement much better than we had hoped for. We found Jordan very on top of the case, kept us informed, and responded immediately to call. I highly recommend MKP law firm.
