Como dueño de un perro o como alguien que vive en un vecindario residencial donde hay muchos otros perros presentes, es importante educarse sobre las leyes de correa para perros. Esto se debe a que podría ser víctima de un accidente por mordedura de perro o ser acusado en una demanda por lesiones cuando otra persona ha sufrido lesiones debido a su perro.

Desafortunadamente, las personas sufren lesiones catastróficas por ataques de perros todos los días. Estos incidentes pueden ser incluso mortales y provocar el miedo a los perros, especialmente en niños pequeños, o incluso infecciones complicadas. Es muy importante que cada dueño de una mascota entienda su responsabilidad de obedecer las leyes de correa de California cuando esté en lugares públicos. Si usted no cumple con esto y su perro llega a morder a alguien, se le podría considerar responsable de lo que su perro le ocasiona a otro animal o ser humano.

¿Puedo quitarle la correa a mi perro?

En la mayoría de los municipios de California usted debe mantener a su perro con una correa. No hay leyes universales en el estado que requieran que los dueños mantengan a todos los perros con correa, pero usted querrá consultar con su condado porque la mayoría tienen sus propias ordenanzas con este mismo requisito.

Aunque puede que no sea la ley en una zona rural, si lleva a su perro a un lugar metropolitano de California, deberá tenerlo con correa en los lugares públicos. Como ejemplo, la Ley de la Correa en el Condado de Los Ángeles establece que los propietarios deben sujetar a todos los perros con correas de no más de 6 pies de largo cuando se encuentren en áreas compartidas de propiedad privada o mientras estén en propiedad pública. Si usted está en la propiedad privada de otra persona en el condado de Los Angeles y ha recibido su consentimiento para permitir que el perro esté sin correa, esto será aceptable.

En caso de que su perro haya sido considerado peligroso por su condado, tendrá que comprobar si se le aplican normas más estrictas de sujeción de perros. El condado de Los Angeles no es único. De hecho, muchos condados y lugares en California tienen leyes similares de correa para perros. Usted tendrá que verificar los detalles de los requisitos de correa dentro de su área local o condado antes de sacar a su animal. Si observa signos que indiquen que una mascota puede estar sin correa en lugares públicos, como una playa designada para perros o un parque para perros, esto es aceptable, pero querrá aclarar los requisitos de cada ciudad.

¿Puedo dejar a que mi perro ande libremente?

También conocido como correr libremente, en la mayoría de las ciudades de California es ilegal dejar a su perro vagar sin correa o por su cuenta. Debes tener a su perro con una correa, de acuerdo con las leyes de correas del condado cuando está fuera de su propiedad privada. Su perro tiene que permanecer con correa en la mayoría de los condados de California si usted no tiene una pared o cerca que bordea su césped delantero. Esto es cierto incluso si el perro está en su propiedad privada.

La única vez que el perro puede estar sin correa en su patio es si hay una cerca, barrera o pared que impide que el perro deambule libre y separa al perro del público.

Violaciones de las leyes de correa del condado

La ley estatal se aplica si su perro muerde a alguien más. A California se le conoce como un estado de responsabilidad estricta por mordeduras de perro. Una persona que llega a lesionarse como resultado de que su perro los muerda no tendrá que demostrar que tiene conocimiento previo de los comportamientos violentos del perro o que fue negligente en cuidar de su perro en el momento con el fin de recuperar la compensación. En cambio, como dueño de la mascota se le puede considerar estrictamente responsable de los daños, independientemente de si fue o no negligente en el control o el arrendamiento de su mascota.

El propósito de esta estricta ley de mordeduras de perros es alentar a los dueños de mascotas a dar un paso adelante y asumir la responsabilidad de restringir a sus mascotas. Es aún más importante que comprenda el valor o la necesidad de sujetar a su mascota si ha estado involucrado en ataques anteriores o que se sabe que es agresivo. También podría ser responsable de multas y sanciones como resultado de violar las leyes de correa de su condado. Puede ser muy caro tratar una lesión por una mordedura de perro y no querrá encontrarse en esta situación.

¿Y qué hay de las correas retráctiles?

Un problema que ocasionalmente puede surgir en los casos de lesiones personales de mordedura de perro es si el propietario de la mascota tiene o no suficiente control al utilizar una correa retráctil. Esto es particularmente cierto si la correa está en la posición de desbloqueo en el momento en que se produce la mordedura del perro. La mayoría de las correas retráctiles permiten que un perro se mueva más distancias del propietario que una correa tradicional de seis pies. Dependiendo del tipo de correa retráctil de hecho, el perro puede ser elegible para andar hasta 30 pies de distancia. El nivel de control que el dueño de una mascota puede ejercer sobre su mascota en ciertas circunstancias es más limitado con una correa retráctil.

Incluso hay casos en los que usted puede perder el control de un perro con correa en función de las circunstancias en el medio ambiente. Se le podría considerar responsable por no restringir adecuadamente a su perro y podría estar involucrado en una demanda legal.

¿Qué pasa si ya me han mordido?

Si fue mordido por el perro de otra persona, esta información puede llevarle a presentar una demanda por lesiones. Dado que los dueños son responsables de sus perros, es posible que pueda recuperar la compensación por sus lesiones y las facturas médicas a través de una demanda al seguro del propietario. Para ello, puede que necesite a un abogado para ayudarle a presentar una demanda por mordedura de perro en California.

What Our Clients Say

Honestly can't say enough positive things about the Law Brothers! I got into a severe car accident at the end of 2016 and they've been with me every step of the way ever since. Almost 4 years! I want to thank everyone there especially Caitlyn, Shawn, and Yasmeen. They have been responsive, helpful, and reassuring and I don't know what I would've done if I didn't have the legal support that I was able to get along the years. They are super professional and really helped me get through this hardship in my life. I would definitely recommend!!!

Last year I contacted your law firm when I got into a car accident. the gentleman that handled my case, his name was Cesar. Cesar was very helpful and compassionate about my situation. He helped me get my car fixed very quickly and was super patient with me. He answered all of my questions and ensured me that everything will be taken care of. Once my case was settled I ended up getting more than I was expecting, which was amazing. I highly recommended Cesar and this law firm to anyone that needs help.

William Charlton

I was a client to the Law Brothers firm for about a year, the staff is really nice and professional. I would get updates on the case status and when I did call I would usually get a call back within 24 hours. I really appreciate the work that was done for me. I got the most out of my settlement and when I called to have a break down of the costs, Genesis was very patient and gave me a break down on all of it. I will definitely recommend this law firm to friends and family, as well as call them in the future if needed (hopefully not soon).

Erendira Landa

I had gotten into an accident and had no idea what to do. Friends and family recommended I get a lawyer since I was not at fault. I found this firm and I was beyond impressed. They handled everything for me from car insurance questions to finding doctors for me to visit. After my accident all I had to do was make appointments with various doctors to help with my pain. I give five stars because this firm went above and beyond and continued to follow up with me. I highly recommend if you are in need of a lawyer to use them.

The team at the Law Brothers we’re amazing! I am not the kind of person to seek legal counsel, but I was hit by a car while riding a motorcycle and the driver’s insurance was avoiding my attempts to get reimbursed. They were able to not only get a settlement that replaced my motorcycle, but they found me physical therapy which was close to my work. Now I am back to where I was physically before the accident and I am able to ride a motorcycle again. They were always responsive to my texts, calls, and emails. They even would systematically check to see how I was healing and if the support they linked me to was satisfactory.

Charles Mortensen

This law firm is a team of miracle workers! The Law Brothers Law Firm saved me from suffering at another law firm from Century City. My case manager Jonathan was able to gather all the details from my accident ( literally within a week! ) and keeping me updated consistenty to keep me at ease. They work diligently and keep at it until your case is completed. I went through a car accident that almost took my life away but thanks to the higher power and the Law Brothers, you won't even hesitate to choose them because I felt trust and integrity throughout my case and I feel happier in my life, which in my opinion, matters the most at the end of the day.
