Dog Bites Increasing in Orange County, CA – Noted Dog Attack Lawyer Jeff Nadrich Comments

Caren Henry was out walking her own dog when, This dog came racing across this yard, a big dog." The dog knocked her down and started biting her face, seriously injuring her nose. As the attack was happening, Caren's husband, Laine, was driving by. He immediately sprang into action: Caren turned and looked at me and I seen her face was nothing but blood, so I bit the dog literally in the nose and he let go and I grabbed our dog and I grabbed her and I put them in our pick-up and took off, he told the local NBC affiliate . The county has no vicious dog ordinance, so the dog who attacked Caren does not face the threat of being put down. [Shutterstock]

My own dog bite law firm has experienced a gradual increase in dog bite consultations over the past few consecutive years, and some of the stories are just heartbreaking. Of course, we always see an increase in dog bites during the summer, but this is proving to be more serious than just the usual summer spike. The numbers are increasing year round. Nadrich also noted that in California, dog owners are almost always liable when one of their dogs bites or attacks a human being or animal. Here in California, we have a concept known as strict liability. It says that if your dog bites someone, the legal responsibility falls on your shoulders. We are all responsible for ensuring that our pets behave like model citizens, and when that doesn't happen, there are consequences. Nadrich encourages all dog bite victims to contact a qualified dog bite attorney right away.

How to Limit Your Liability If Your Dog Bites

The boy, from Millcreek, was released from Saint Vincent Health Center after receiving stitches for his wounds, said Tim Stevenson, Millcreek animal enforcement officer. He did not identify the boy or the owners of the dog. The dog has its rabies shots and other vaccinations, Stevenson said. The Rottweiler was on a leash, but it bit the boy while he was on a climbing gym at the park, Stevenson said. The park is at West 10th Street and Oakmont Avenue. The dog is being quarantined by its owners at their Millcreek house for 10 days.

They learn to avoid dangerous situations with dogs and how to Be a Tree if a strange dog approaches them or any dog is bothering them. To Be a Tree they stop, fold their branches (hands clasped in front), watch their roots grow (look at their feet) and count their breaths in their head until help comes or the dog goes away. The Be a Tree program is fun and interactive with a goal to empower and not to frighten children. Diane Kamitakahara, principal of Earl Grey School in Calgary Alberta said, "Thanks so much for the presentations. They were great and very well received. One of our teacher's daughters who is in grade 1 here had an encounter with an excited pit bull at the dog park the weekend after your presentation. She did exactly like you instructed and the dog backed off and went away. Her mom was amazed."

International Dog Bite Prevention Challenge Meets Goal, Educates Over 30,000 Children

Never give out your credit card information to the pet owner; instead provide appropriate identification and the assurance that you will pay for reasonable treatment at a nearby veterinary hospital once that office calls to explain what care needs to be done. Be Aware of New Theories of Liability Some dog owners believe that they don't really have too much to worry about if their dog has an inclination to bite. For example, if the dog is a small breed, they may not think anybody could be injured very much by his tiny little chompers. Some owners don't worry because their dog never bites people, though she does tend to be aggressive toward other dogs and cats. Here is a bit of important legal news for such "pet owners in denial": New legislation and court decisions have broadly expanded the liability of owners of biting dogs. Some courts also have been awarding noneconomic damages to dog bite victims, (so-called "pain and suffering" awards) which can go well beyond the payment of lost wages and medical care attributable to the bite.
