Long Beach Dog Bite Lawyers

A large percentage of people in the United States suffer from  dog bites and attacks each year, far more than most people realize.  A whopping 5 million people are bitten by dogs every year, ranging from mild nips to full on attacks.  A majority of dog bite victims are children who are most often suffer injuries to the facial region.  This is in part due to the fact that children’s faces are at eye level with many dogs and because of the fact that children are innocently unaware of the dangers some dogs pose.  Due to the fact the California is a ‘strict liability’ state, pet owners whose dogs inflict injury upon others will be held liable for any resulting damages.  Dog owners in Long Beach have a legal responsibility to prevent their pets from biting and injuring others and when they fail to do this they will be required to provide compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering resulting from a dog bite or attack.
