DOG BITES

DOG BITES INJURIES CAN BE SERIOUS

A dog bites injuries may cause substantial harm to a victim. Depending on the severity of the attack, canine attacks can lead to particularly serious injury which may result in permanent disfigurement, punctured wounds, broken bones, nasty infections and pain and suffering. 

 

You should always seek immediate medical help after a dog bite. It is necessary that a medical professional evaluate the severity of the injury, especially if you were bitten by a dog who is not properly vaccinated.

DO YOU NEED AN ATTORNEY?

Dog bites are serious injuries that require the help of an attorney in order to explore all legal options available. Typically, dog bites are covered by the homeowner’s insurance policy. However, before the insurance pays off on things like medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering, an attorney must prove that the dog owner was negligent 

AFTER A DOG BITE

If you or a loved one has been a victim of a dog bite, gather up and record the following:

 

  • Dog owner’s name, address and contact information
  • Location where dog bite occurred (ex. Home’s Front yard)
  • Dog breed and physical description
  • Pictures of wound before medical treatment
