National City is one of the most densely populated municipalities in San Diego County — a compact, working-class community packed with apartment complexes, multi-unit rental buildings, and closely-spaced residential blocks running between Interstate 805 to the west and Interstate 5 near the bayfront. Its density, high rental occupancy, and significant dog-owning population make National City one of the most active areas in the South Bay for dog bite incidents.
Dog attacks in National City most frequently occur along busy walking corridors like Highland Avenue and National City Boulevard, in the parking lots and common areas of the city's many apartment complexes, near Las Palmas Park and Sweetwater Regional Park, and in the residential streets that run through neighborhoods like Olivewood and the areas south of Plaza Bonita Road. Under California Civil Code Section 3342, every one of these incidents triggers the dog owner's automatic strict liability — regardless of breed, prior history, or leash status.
Because National City has such a high proportion of rental housing — many managed by out-of-area property companies — premises liability claims against landlords who permitted dangerous dogs are especially common and valuable here. Our attorneys have experience uncovering commercial insurance policies held by National City property managers that go far beyond a standard renter's policy, significantly expanding the total compensation available to bite victims.
Bordered by Chula Vista to the south and San Diego to the north, National City residents deserve the same level of aggressive dog bite representation as anywhere else in the county. Call (619) 514-0460 now for a completely free National City dog bite consultation — available around the clock.

Yes. Common areas of National City apartment buildings — hallways, parking lots, laundry rooms, patios, and shared driveways — are all covered by California's strict liability law.
