Have You Suffered From A Dog Bite and Looking For Experienced Representation?
More than 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs each year and nearly 800,000 Americans seek medical attention for dog bites with nearly half of them being children. Of those injured, 386,000 require treatment in an emergency department and tragically, about 16 die. The rate of dog bite-related injuries is highest for children ages 5 to 9.
Suing for Dog Bites
In most states, the owner of any dog that bites any person while in a public or private place, including the property of the dog’s owner, is liable for damages suffered by persons bitten. This is true regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owners’ knowledge of such viciousness.
