Although the most common, dogs are not the only pets that can attack and injure.  Dog bite cases are specifically covered by California law.  No other pet has its own specific statute.  However, any homeowner or pet owner would face liability for failure to protect or warn a person who is bitten or injured by an animal other than a dog. We have helped people thrown from horses when the owner failed to warn of dangerous propensities.  Cat scratches and bites are also common and subject the owner to liability when there is a failure to warn.
