Under California law, dog owners are liable for damages related to any injury sustained by anyone bitten by the dog in a public place or while lawfully in a private place, including the dog owner's property. The law applies whether or not the dog has any previous history of vicious behavior. Animal attacks can be frightening, and can result in serious injuries including severe cuts and abrasions, lost eyes, and permanent disfigurement and scarring.
