In general, the owner of any animal is responsible for any injury the animal causes. In California, dog owners are responsible for any injuries caused by their dog. Dog owners often try to blame the victim for their injuries. Children under 5 are never at fault under California law. Older children need only have used the care ordinarily used by other children his or her age.
In most dog bite cases, dogs target the person’s face and can cause serious injury to their lips, nose, and cheeks. Victims of dog bites are often children, and victims of severe dog bites are almost exclusively children. Children who are bitten by a dog often fear dogs and other large animals for years.
Although all dogs are capable of inflicting bite injuries, certain breeds cause more serious injuries than other breeds. By compiling US and Canadian press accounts between 1982 and 2014, Merritt Clifton (editor of Animals 24-7) showed the combination of Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Husky, and Wolf Hybrids are most responsible for disfiguring injuries and death.

Many dog bite victims suffer significant injuries and facial scarring. In addition to the trauma associated with the injuries, a dog attack can have profound long-term psychological consequences. Also, bite victims with significant facial scarring usually earn significantly less income throughout their lives.
Many dog bite victims undergo multiple surgical procedures. In addition, many suffer significant scars and have complications such as keloid or hypertrophic scars. Medical expenses can be very costly in dog bite cases, with an average cost of $18,200.00 in 2010.
