Injuries Caused by Dogs

If you have been injured by a dog, particularly by a dog bite, you should immediately seek medical attention. Because dogs may carry diseases that can infect humans, it is important to identify the dog that caused the injury and to report the matter to the police or animal control authorities right away. Injuries caused by dogs or animals can include infections, broken bones, laceration and puncture wounds, nerve damage, and other permanent damage or scarring. Young children are most susceptible to serious injuries caused by dogs or other animals and should always receive immediate medical attention.

If you have been the victim of a Dog Bite Or Attack, you may be able to sue for damages including past and future medical expenses, loss of wages, and pain and suffering. In rare cases, dog injuries can be fatal and the dog's owner can be sued for wrongful death.
