Orange County Dog Bite Attorney
Most Important for Dog Attack Cases
The most important aspect of prosecuting a dog attack case is to secure evidence as quickly as possible. We have our investigator on the scene, usually within an hour of notification, in order to gather and preserve evidence. The best evidence to gather for our Orange County Dog Bite Attorneys is to obtain the identity of the dog and its owner, photographs of the dog, identity of witnesses, witness statements, and photographs of the injuries and location of the attack.
"Orange County Dog Bite Attorney John Bisnar"
It may surprise you that California is ranked first in the nation in fatal dog attacks. Insurers nationwide pay out over $1 billion in claims related to animal bites annually. One-third of the money paid out through homeowners' liability claims are related to dog attacks. At Bisnar | Chase, our Orange County Dog Bite Attorneys handle numerous California dog bite cases each year. We can use our knowledge and experience to represent you and achieve results. In our experience the most dangerous month for dog attacks is August. The days are long, it's been hot for months, the gardeners are coming and going and children are generally home from school; a dangerous combination.
What You Need To Show
To have a solid case, a plaintiff needs to prove:
- The defendant owned the dog
- The dog bit the plaintiff
- The plaintiff was lawfully on the premises where the dog bite took place
- The dog bite caused the plaintiff injuries
Once these prerequisites are met, further action can be taken.
California Dog Bite Law: Civil Code Section 3342
It is not necessary for the plaintiff, in a California case, to prove that the dog was known to be vicious or had a propensity to bite. One bite is alone sufficient to support liability. Under California law, all the Plaintiff (injured person) must prove to recover for a dog bite injury is: " The defendant owned the dog " The dog bit the plaintiff " The plaintiff was lawfully on the premises where the dog bite took place " The dog bite caused the plaintiff injuries
