A Recent Case Illustrates How a Residential Property Accident Case Can Arise
A pool cleaning person had been to a home on numerous previous times until, during her last visit, the homeowner failed to secure her dogs in her garage. The dogs attacked the pool cleaner, causing severe injuries to her neck, face and arms.
California holds dog owners accountable for injuries on a "strict liability" basis. This means that dog attack victims do not have to prove that the dog in question had attacked people in the past or that the owner of the dog had previous knowledge of the dangerous propensities of the dog. Instead, the liability is assumed.
