A dog bite or attack can be traumatic and terrifying event that results in serious injury. It is estimated that the majority of dog bite victims are children under 12 years of age, most of which are bitten on the face.

Legal recovery for dog attacks begins with finding the dog owner and finding out if the dog owner or handler was negligent with the dog. In some cases, merely owning a dangerous animal that attacks is adequate legal grounds for compensation. California has a strict liability dog bite statute .

If a stray dog bites you, you have little legal recourse since your claim must be filed against a dog owner or handler. If the owner is identified, and if the conditions for liability are met, dog bite victims can recover for the following:

• Medical treatment such as first aid, emergency care, hospitalization andmedical care.
• Future medical treatment for scar reduction.
• Psychological counseling to overcome the emotional trauma of the attack.
• Loss of earnings from work.
