Have you or a loved one been a victim of a dog bite accident in or around San Jose? A dog bite accident can lead to serious injuries. Understand that even if the dog has never bitten someone before, you can still hold the dog owner responsible for your injuries. Bruce Funk Law, a San Jose dog bite accident attorney, can represent injured victims.

It is not necessary for the plaintiff, in a California dog bite case, to prove that the dog was known to be vicious or had a propensity to bite. A single bite is enough to support liability. In order to receive compensation for a dog bite injury, the plaintiff (injured person) must simply demonstrate that:

• The defendant owned the dog
• The dog bit the plaintiff
• The plaintiff was lawfully present on the premises where the bite occurred.
• The bite caused injuries to the plaintiff.

Statute of Limitations

The statute of limitations in California for dog bite injuries is two years from the date of your injury.
