Police Dog Bite Lawyers in California

In addition to the many laws that govern claims regarding police dogs in California, there are other factors that may affect the strength of your claim or the amount of damages to which you are entitled. These factors are as follows:

• Whether the police officer was actively investigating you as a suspect in a crime or not
• If you were fleeing the officer or resisting arrest
• The nature and severity of your injuries

Whether the police officer used excessive force or not

Dog bite claims that involve police animals differ from other dog bite claims in the state. When filing a lawsuit after a police dog bite or attack, you must send the government agency responsible for the dog notice of the claim. The agency will then either accept or deny your claim. A lawyer can help ensure your notice of claim is accepted and if it is not, can advise you of your legal options.
