A dog bite can be a frightening and traumatic experience with long lasting effects. Millions of innocent people are mauled and bitten by dogs each year and at least 12 die each year from dog-related attacks in the United States. There are over 700,000 dog bites that require medical attention and approximately 3 million dog bites each year.
Sadly, the majority of dog bite victims are children and often the dog belongs to a friend or family member. The types of injuries from dog bites, whether a minor nip to a serious mauling, demand immediate medical attention because of the dangers from infection and possible rabies. Many injuries are life threatening and may result in a disfigurement as well as future emotional problems for the victim.
There is a belief that certain dog breeds are more ferocious that others, but given the strict liability typically attached to the owner of a biting animal, the breed of the animal is unimportant. If you were the victim of a dog attack, you have legal rights to recover monetary compensation for your injuries and damages.
