Whether the victim is a child or an adult, a dog attack or dog bite can be a stressful and traumatic experience. Especially when the dog bite, mauling, scratching, or other form of dog attack results in an open wound, bleeding, scars or requires the victim to seek medical attention.
In California, the owner of a dog is strictly liable for the damages caused by the dog to any person. Under California Civil Code Section 3342, this applies to the owner of the dog, and not a sitter, landlord unless they knew of the dangerous nature of the dog.
Such liability of a dogs actions applies whether the dog is on a leash or running loose, and it generally does not matter whether the attack or dog bite took place on public or private property.
