Proving Negligence in a Dog Bite Case in California

It is not necessary for the plaintiff, in a California Accident or Injury Law 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 dog bite law, the plaintiff (injured person) must prove in order to recover for a dog bite injury, that:

• The defendant owned the dog
• The dog bit the plaintiff
• The plaintiff was lawfully on the premises where the bite took place
• The bite caused the plaintiff’s injuries
