Who is Responsible in an Oakland Dog Bite Claim?

In California, dog owners are held strictly liable for any injuries inflicted by their dog. It does not matter if the dog had never attacked anyone in the past or if the dog had a history completely free from violent behavior and aggression. The only exception to the strict liability rule would be if the victim provoked the dog or was trespassing at the time of the attack.

Typically, financial recovery in an Oakland dog bite claim will come from the homeowner's insurance policy of the dog owner. However, by working with the particular circumstances of your case, your attorney can determine exactly what resource will work best for recovering maximum financial compensation.
