Dog Bite Injuries
Millions of Americans are bitten by dogs each year. Though not all bites merit medical attention, the American Veterinary Medicine Association reports that as many as 800,000 people annually seek treatment for dog bites. In 2005 alone, insurance companies paid $317.2 million for dog bite liability cases.
Dog Bite Injury
The majority of dog bite victims in the United States are young children. Though suffering injury is not easy to deal with under any circumstances, an unprovoked dog attack can be an incredibly traumatic experience with long-lasting physical, emotional, and psychological effects, especially for young victims. Whether you or your children have been attacked by a neighbor's or stranger’s dog, you have the right to seek compensation for:
- Medical fees
- Pain and suffering
- Future medical expenses
- Plastic surgery
- Emotional trauma
- Counseling
- Scarring and disfigurement
- Nerve damage
- Damaged personal property
- Attorney fees
