California Dog Bite Law — “The First Bite” No Longer Free

Under California’s current law, dog owners are strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs — even if it’s the first incident and the dog has never previously shown aggression. The old “one free bite” rule no longer applies. Under California Civil Code §3342, a victim bitten in a public place or while lawfully on private property can recover damages regardless of the dog’s history.

Dog attacks can leave lasting physical and emotional scars, from serious wounds and infections to anxiety and trauma.

At the Law Office of Frederick S. Schwartz, we handle the legal complexities of dog bite claims so you can focus on recovery. We investigate ownership and insurance coverage, document your medical and emotional damages, and fight to ensure your claim reflects the full scope of your suffering.
