Orange County Dog Bites and Dog Attacks

Unfortunately, dog bites are here to stay. Dog ownership has not declined in many years and bite rates have done nothing but gone up. This is most likely due to a growing population and over-crowding of many areas in Orange County. Several cities here are stacked with apartment buildings and apartment complexes which are basically breeding grounds for dog attacks.

Sadly, most of the victims of dog bites are children and even worse, most of the injuries are to their faces and necks. While fairly common, many people are unaware of dog bite cases. There are a few things you should know about dog bite cases in Orange County.

There are three crucial things you need to prove in order to have a good dog bite case:

  1. The defendant owned the dog
  2. You were lawfully on the premises where the dog bite occurred
  3. The bite directly caused your injuries

If you can prove these three things, you'll have a much stronger case against the defendant. In that regard, click this link to find out more about dog bites.
