So, the amount you can get assuming he was 51% at fault?
I mean, if you try to capture a dog on your employers property to prevent it from running into traffic, is that going to be not worth while? I’ve never done a dog bite case.
It depends. How large was the dog at large?
You could probably get something out of it, especially if the bite required medical treatment or caused scarring. Just write a demand letter and see what happens.
What are the injuries? In CA dog bite cases are strict liability. They’re good cases.
Not trolling.

Of course. If you are minding your own business and you get randomly attacked by a pit bull that an owner was negligent in watching the sky is the limit depending on the damages. The issue here is liability, vicious propensity, etc
Set expectations low. Send out a demand with updated photos of the scar. I think you’ll get offered something but not much because they shouldn’t have provoked the dog by chasing him. If a friend is the dog owner and the insurance adjuster knows this, he could lowball you because he’s betting your client won’t sue his friend.
Dog bite law is strict liability under CA law (civil code 3342)
It's a dog eat dog world. It's a dog of a case. If you're a smaller player in a larger lawsuit, then you may not have a dog in the fight.
Once, I was litigating a dog bite case where the law partner was such an expert on franks, that the lower tier partner in the office next to his deices to adopt a pure-bred dachshund. The same dachshund was discovered the next business day eating the expert's resume. And the expert's name was Frank Burton, who had inspected furniture, fixtures, and equipment at the Mandalay Bay. A law partner, with a dachshund who is an expert on franks, man that's the epitomy of hitting the fence at The Firm.
No homeowners policy covers these three types of dog breeds because insurance companies consider the breed of dog to have dangerous propensities: pitbulls, Akitas, and Rottweilers.
On the other end of the Award, at least All dogs go to heaven ...
Weirdest comment I’ve ever read
A former ID associate once said to the equity managing partner of his new law firm when asked to describe the difference between his own negligence and his last law firm's work experience:
"Practicing law is as easy as walking the dog. By not walking the dog, you're strictly liable; However, by walking the dog you're merely negligent. And negligence is a triable issue of material fact."
Dog at large ? So do you know who owner is? If not you are chasing dreams. If there is an owner with insurance and not an excluded breed and no priors you should be able to collect as it is strict liability in most states.
Yes, they were tracked down
