Frequently Asked Questions

Seek medical attention immediately, then report the incident to animal control or local authorities. If possible, gather photos, witness information, and the dog owner’s contact details. Contact GP Law Group to understand your legal rights and next steps.
Yes. Under California’s strict liability law, dog owners are legally responsible for injuries their dog causes—even if the dog has never bitten before.

You may be entitled to compensation for:

  • Medical bills and future treatment
  • Lost wages and income
  • Pain and suffering
  • Scarring or disfigurement
  • Psychological trauma (such as PTSD or anxiety)
You generally have two years from the date of the attack to file a personal injury lawsuit. It’s best to act quickly to preserve evidence and protect your claim.
You can still file a claim. California law applies whether the bite occurred in a public place or lawfully on private property—including the dog owner’s home or yard.
Yes. If a dog causes injury by jumping, charging, or knocking someone over, the owner may still be held responsible under California negligence laws.
Absolutely. Children are frequent victims of dog bites. GP Law Group can file a claim on your child’s behalf and seek compensation for medical care, trauma, and any permanent injuries.
In some cases, landlords or property managers can be held liable if they knew the dog was dangerous and failed to act. Our legal team will investigate all possible sources of liability.
California law allows dog owners to argue provocation as a defense, but that doesn’t automatically disqualify your claim. We’ll review the facts and fight back against unfair blame.
