Issues About Animal Behavior Relevant to Dog-Bite Statutes
نویسنده
چکیده
Twenty-eight States, including California, have a codes imposing strict liability for dog-related injuries. In essence, these laws makes an owner liable, without having to prove fault or negligence, if the actions of their dog causes injury to a person (see M. Randolph, Dog Law, 3rd ed. 1998, Nolo Press). The specific language used in the codes varies from state to state. In California, for example, the statue (California civil code, section 3342) can be invoked only if the plaintiff was bitten. The California statue further stipulates that an owner must take reasonable steps to remove the danger their dog presents if its has tendency to bite people.
