Common questions

## Dog bite FAQs

### Is a dog owner automatically liable for a bite in California?

California law holds dog owners strictly liable in many bite situations, meaning a victim generally does not have to prove the owner knew the dog was dangerous. The specific facts still matter, so it is worth having your situation reviewed.

### What can I recover after a dog bite?

Depending on the case, you may recover medical costs, lost income, and non-economic damages such as pain, suffering, and emotional distress, which can be significant after an attack.

### How long do I have to file?

Most California injury claims must be filed within two years. Because exceptions exist, contact us early so you do not lose your right to recover. [CONFIRM: confirm the deadline that applies to your claim]
