Dog Owners in Pasadena Have Strict Liability for Their Animals—What This Means for You
California Civil Code § 3342 clearly states that “The owner of any dog is liable for the damages suffered by any person who is bitten by the dog while in a public place or lawfully in a private place…”
The owner of the dog that bit you or your loved one may have been negligent in one or more ways, possibly including by:
- Allowing the dog off leash in a public space
- Failing to ensure the dog was adequately confined within the owner’s yard
- Failing to warn you that the dog was aggressive
- Failing to use a muzzle or any other resource that reduces the likelihood of a dog bite
- Engaging in any other action or failure to act that led to the dog biting you
Our firm represents any victim of dog bites. From delivery people to joggers, bike riders, and other pedestrians hurt through no fault of their own, KJT Law Group fights for those victimized by dog owners’ negligence.

How We Have Won Fair Compensation for Dog Bite Victims in Pasadena (and Elsewhere)
Remember that we are going to create an original, personalized strategy specific to you and your case. That said, we have secured fair compensation for many dog bite survivors by:
Proving Why the Dog Bite Happened (and Who Is at Fault)
Important evidence we may use to establish who is at fault includes:
- Photographs of any conditions that led to the bite (such as a dilapidated fence that allowed an aggressive dog to escape)
- Testimony from witnesses who saw the bite or other relevant circumstances (like past instances of aggression from the dog)
- Relevant expert testimony
- Relevant video footage
Evidence of negligence is a critical component of every dog bite case, so we will immediately pursue all evidence that benefits yours.
Applying California Law to Prove Negligence
Our attorneys understand California’s statutes relating to aggressive animals. We will cite the specific law that indicates a dog owner or other at-fault party is liable for the harm you have suffered.
Documenting Damages
Your Pasadena dog bite attorney will obtain any documentation that speaks to your damages, such as:
- Medical images of internal injuries
- Photographs of visible injuries, including wounds from the dog bite
- Medical bills
- Your testimony about how the dog bite has affected you
- A mental health professional’s testimony about the psychological and emotional effects of the bite
These are just some of the many resources we may use to prove the nature and cost of your bite-related damages.
Demanding a Fair Settlement
Once we determine which insurance company or at-fault party owes you compensation, we will present our settlement demands. We may need to exhaust multiple negotiations before receiving the offer you deserve.
Overseeing the Legal Process When a Lawsuit Is Necessary
If the liable party does not offer to cover your damages in a fair manner, we are prepared to file a lawsuit on your behalf. We can also go to trial if it’s the path you choose.
These are the primary responsibilities we will handle for you. Our firm goes above and beyond in leading our dog bite claims and lawsuits by:
- Hiring experts when it benefits the case (at no direct expense to our client)
- Working directly with our own medical experts and your doctors
- Helping you get any medical care, mental health services, and other treatment you need
We will report your dog bite to the necessary authorities and tend to the finest of details. KJT Law Group is a professional law firm, and professionalism is exactly what you should expect from us.
Dogs Can Inflict Life-Changing Damages. We Will Demand Fair Compensation for Yours.
Dog bites are complex, as the physical injuries may only be one of several types of harm you suffer. Your attorney from KJT Law Group will seek compensation for both economic and non-economic damages, which may include:
- Medical expenses
- Pain and suffering, which may include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Lost income and other professional harm resulting from the attack, your injuries, and psychological trauma
- Rehabilitation-related costs
If you are disabled because of the effects of being bitten, we will consider the unique challenges that disabilities impose.
