Fresno Dog Bite Attorney
Dog Bite Lawyer in Fresno, CA
California has some of the strongest dog bite laws in the country. Under strict liability, dog owners are responsible for bite injuries — regardless of whether the dog has bitten anyone before. Attorney Santosh Narayan has recovered over $1.5 million for dog bite victims.
California Dog Bite Strict Liability Law
Under California Civil Code Section 3342, dog owners are strictly liable for damages caused by their dog biting someone, even if the dog has never bitten anyone before and the owner had no reason to believe the dog was dangerous.
This means you don't need to prove the owner was negligent — only that the bite happened and you were legally allowed to be where you were when it occurred.
