• Dog Bites
  CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE 3342 IMPOSES STRICT LIABILITY UPON THE OWNER OF A DOG THAT BITES A PERSON. When a dog owner fails to control his or her pet and the dog bites another person the person who was attacked is entitled to be compensated for all medical bills, pain and suffering and for any resulting disfigurement. Unfortunately, dog bites can cause severe disfigurement which often requires extensive surgery. Although plastic surgery can potentially diminish the amount of disfigurement the surgery itself invariably leaves permanent scars. Facial scars caused by dog bites justify large compensation settlement or awards. Dog bites can also cause nerve damage that may stay with the victim for life. Lawyer Christopher Landis knows the tremendous damage dog bites can cause and will fight aggressively for his clients to get them every dollar of compensation to which they are entitled.
