Dog Bite Accident Attorney
Helping Dog Bite Victims
Dog attacks can be terrifying, especially when the victim is a young, unsuspecting child. When a dog bite injury results in permanent scarring and an abundance of medical bills, it can be even worse.
The Center for Disease Control estimates that 4.5 million Americans suffer dog bite accidents every year. More than 2,500 dog bite victims are forced to visit the emergency room due every day. Although a bite from a small dog may not seem significant, it can pose serious health risks, especially if the dog has missed out on some vaccinations.
Dog bite victims often require serious medical attention due to the possible chance of infection from disease or bacteria that the dog is carrying. Many dogs carry disease and bacteria that require the immediate medical attention of antibiotics.
Larger dogs can inflict a great deal of damage as well, including broken bones, deep puncture wounds, lacerations and infection. These will often lead to torn skin, loss of blood and terrible permanent scars. All leading to years of medical treatment and plastic surgeries.
Even though it’s often difficult to accept, the friendliest dog can be a real danger to you or your kids. Dogs may bite when they are stressed or scared, and in some unfortunate cases they may do much more than bite.
Can You Get Money for a Dog Bite Accident?
No matter how it occurred or from what size of dog, victims risk severe injury which often results in high medical bills and loss of income because of missed work. You should not have to suffer bodily and still suffer financially as well.
Yes, you can get money for a dog bite attack.
Anyone suffering an injury from a dog bite must take certain measures.
Responsibility is not automatic though as you (plaintiff) still have to show that the dog belonging to the owner (defendant) was responsible for your injury.
A plaintiff is usually required to prove that:
– The dog belonged to the defendant
– The dog involved caused the injury
– The injury occurred in a public place or while the plaintiff was lawfully on private property
Proving all these facts is essential to a successful claim and to do that, you need the help of a special dog bite attorney.
