Going on a vacation to a nice resort, hotel, or hostel is supposed to be a relaxing experience that helps reduce stress and recharge from an otherwise hectic schedule. So you might be happy to relax near the pool, sit on the beach, or hang out with friends and family in the common areas on the property. And if the hotel is dog-friendly, you might be inclined to play fetch with a fellow guest’s dog.<\/p>\n

But every bit of enjoyment and benefit of your vacation or short getaway is destroyed when you become the victim of a dog bite. It could have been a dog that was friendly the day before or one you had never seen before that just ran up, lunged at you, and sunk its teeth into your arm or leg. All you know is that your trip is ruined, and you want to find out who is to blame for the injury and pain you are suffering. And your first thought is to sue the hotel for allowing this rambunctious and aggressive do onto the property.<\/p>\n

But before you decide that suing the motel, hotel, or hostel is your plan of attack, contact the dog bite injury attorney at DTLA Law Group. We will provide a better understanding of the California laws that govern dog bites and your rights to seek compensation for your injuries and suffering resulting from the dog bite. We are here 24\/7 and offer a free consultation to any injury victim.<\/p>\nWho Is Responsible For A Dog Bite In California?<\/span>\n

When you think about an injury at a large property like a hotel, you might assume that the owner or management of the hotel is responsible for everything that happens on the grounds. Premises liability covers almost every aspect of a property and how it should be kept hazard free. But that is not always the case. For example, when you speak about a dog bite, a whole new set of rules apply. California is a strict liability state in terms of dog bites.<\/p>\n

In short, that means the dog owner is responsible for any damage caused<\/a> by the dog, including injuries resulting from a dog bite. And these rules include any public spaces and private property, like a hotel or motel. The only requirement is that the dig bite victim is a guest, visitor, renter, or tenant of the property. As long as they are legally on the property, not trespassing, they have the right to sue the owner of the dog that bit them. Legal access to the property is required to protect dog owners when their dog bites<\/a> an intruder at their home or hotel room.<\/p>\n

So now that you know who is legally responsible for the dog that bit you at the hotel, you know whom you can sue for compensation. And it is not the hotel. So now it is time to contact DTLA Law Group to learn more about your rights as a personal injury victim and how you can move forward<\/a> to pursue seeking reimbursement for your medical bills and other losses due to the dog bite injury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But It Was Just A Small Bite\u2026<\/span>\n

Unfortunately, many dog bite victims think that a bite<\/a> that is not gushing blood is something that can be overlooked. You might get a bruise, but the bite does not warrant medical attention. So they accept the apology of the dog’s owner and go on about their day. It is not until a few days later, when the bite is red, swollen, and seeping puss, that they realize this dog bite is a severe injury. But by then, the dog owner is long gone, and they are left paying all the medical bills for treatment of the infected dog bite.<\/p>\n

It is a true myth that a dog’s mouth is cleaner than a human’s. But the critical thing to learn is that dogs carry many germs and bacteria in their mouths. And if a dog bite breaks the skin, you are likely to suffer one of three very common infections, including:<\/p>\n
