An attack by a dog may lead to serious injuries, including scarring or serious disfigurement. In California, the owner of the dog may be held strictly liable for the injuries sustained in the incident involving their dog.
The victims of dog bites, are usually children, and the majority of the time, the dog
attacks the face. The bites often need extensive medical treatment and therapy, including plastic surgery to help repair the damage. There is often emotional trauma that lasts sometimes longer than the physical injuries.
