Dog
Bites
CALIFORNIA LAW - California 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 premisses where the bite took place
· The bite caused the Plaintiff injuries
