Los Angeles Dog Bite / Dog Attack Lawyers Serving Local Victims
Dogs in Los Angeles Usually Attack and Bite
All of the specialist in Dog behavior will tell you that any kind of dog at any size has the potential of attacking and / or biting someone. Dogs do not even have to be provoked into hurting someone. In most cases dogs will feel threatened or fear what may happen to them in a circumstance and they will take protective measures. Unfortunately even if a person was not posing a threat to the Dog they will suffer serious injuries after a horrifying Dog Attack.
Reasons why Dogs May Attack or Bite in Los Angeles
All Dogs have an innate aggression for purposes of protection and power. Some types of anger and aggressive behavior shown by Dogs could be associated with:
- Dominance- which is usually in response to members of the owning family disturbing the Dog’s sleep, rest, eating, or playing time.
- Fearful or Defensive Aggression- usually happens when the Dog is approached too quickly by family or strangers and the Dog is intimidated
- Territorial Protection- usually in response to strangers who appear to pose a threat to the Dog’s Owner
- Predator Type Aggression- this is usually aimed at smaller animals, children, and other moving objects.
- Painful Aggression- this happens when a Dog is in pain and it is approached by people
- Abusive Behavior-elicited Anger- if a Dog is abused by anyone they will show aggression toward that person
- Redirected Anger or Aggression- this happens when someone tries to prevent the Dog from acting out in any other form of aggression.
Whatever the reason for the violent behavior of the Dog would significantly affect someone’s legal options for filing a lawsuit. Any time a Dog lashes out without a provoked cause by the victim the Dog Owner is liable for any injuries which result from the Dog Bites.
