Building Your Case
Under California law, any dog owner can be held strictly liable for damages related to dog bite injuries, regardless of whether or not the dog had a history of prior bites or aggressive behavior.

Vargas will help you compile the evidence that may be required to establish the following:
- Identity of the dog
- Ownership of the dog
- Severity of your injury
