How Dog Bites Happen
Dog and animal bites are often the result of negligence on the part of their owner, where they fail to take appropriate steps to stop their pet from attacking. This may include, but is not limited to:
- Lack of training
- Lack of socialization
- Failure to use a leash
- Inadequate or broken fencing
- Allowing dogs to roam freely
- Failure to exercise control
The Consequences of a Dog Bite
When people get bitten by a dog, the results can be devastating, even if they are usually not fatal. Injuries can take weeks to heal, and may require surgery and rehabilitation. Even after they heal, they can leave disfiguring scars that can stay with someone for the rest of their lives.
Children are especially vulnerable to these attacks, and are at a higher risk of long-term health problems or death as a result of a dog bite.
What You Can Recover
You can potentially recover money for a wide variety of damages related to a dog bite. These may include, but are not limited to:
- Medical expenses
- Rehabilitation
- Psychological therapy
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
