Dog attack in Bakersfield leaves owner with bite to the face
The Bakersfield Californian reported that a pit bull dog was siezed after attacking an neighbors dog and owner. The dog lived with its owner in Bakersfield California, within Kern Cournty on the 1100 block of Blossom Street. The pit bull escaped from its yard. Neighbors had reported that the dog had attacked to other people in recent weeks.
In earlier blogs I posted about the prevalence of dog attacks. Pit bulls are aggressive dogs and need to be kept by diligent and responsible owners. In this case, the owners would face automatic liability for the victims injuries and damages. In addition the owners of the home that housed the dog may be liable if they knew that the dog lived their and had escaped in the past.
It is important in every dog attack to documents the circumstances of the attack and the injuries. This means early and diligent investigation. In addition to documenting the injuries and scarring.
