Kings County Dog Bite Laws

Dogs in California are considered "Personal Property" and as such, the owner of the dog is liable for any injury or damage their dog may cause. This is referred to as a "Strict Liability" law, meaning that there is no defense an owner can use to avoid responsibility for their dog's actions.

This law applies to any dog bite, regardless of the dog's past behavior or the owner's knowledge of it. It also applies even if the victim was trespassing or provoking the dog in some way.

There are, however, some limited exceptions to this law. If the dog was performing law enforcement or military duty at the time of the bite, the victim could not send demand letters to under this statute. This exception does not apply, however, if the victim was not suspected of participating in the alleged crime.

Even if the dog owner is not liable under the statute, they are still responsible for any damages their dog may cause. This includes paying for medical bills, veterinary bills, and any other costs associated with the injury. The owner may also be subject to civil penalties.
