Dog Bite Lawyer Serving Lancaster

The short answer

If a dog bit you in Lancaster, wash the wound and get medical care, then report the bite to Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control. Get the owner's name and address and ask about rabies shots. Under California Civil Code 3342, the owner is responsible for a bite in a public place or where you were lawfully on private property, even if the dog never bit anyone before. The owner's homeowner's or renter's insurance usually pays. You generally have two years to file. Our Palmdale office is about 15 minutes away.

Many Lancaster homes have large yards and large dogs. Bites we see often happen when dogs get through broken fences or open gates, when delivery workers and meter readers come to the door, and when people walk on streets without sidewalks.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Who do I report a dog bite to in Lancaster?

Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control, which serves Lancaster. The report documents the bite and helps confirm the dog's rabies status.

The dog belongs to my landlord or neighbor. Will I have to take their money?

Usually a homeowner's or renter's insurance policy pays, not the person directly. A landlord who knew a tenant's dog was dangerous may also be responsible.

I was bitten while delivering a package. Can I bring a claim?

Yes. If you were lawfully on the property to deliver, the owner is strictly liable for a bite. You may also have a workers' compensation claim. See our workplace injury page.
