  2. Medical Costs: Emergency care, surgeries, and long-term treatments significantly impact compensation.
  3. Lost Income: Settlements may include lost wages and reduced earning potential if the injury affects the victim’s ability to work.
  4. Pain and Suffering: Emotional trauma, scarring, and reduced quality of life are considered.
  5. Owner Negligence: If the dog owner knew of the dog’s aggressive tendencies, punitive damages may apply.

California’s Strict Liability Law

California operates under a strict liability rule for dog bites which essentially means that dog owners are financially responsible for injuries caused by their pets, regardless of the dog’s history or the owner’s knowledge of its behavior
