Until it happens to you, you might not take dog bites seriously. The truth is, thousands of people are seriously injured every year because of owners who cannot control their animals. The physical and emotional scars of a serious bite or attack can last a lifetime.
If you or a child in your family has suffered a serious dog bite, your first action should be to seek medical attention. Even minor bites and punctures can be painful and cause serious injuries from muscle damage and infections. Your next action should be to talk to an experienced personal injury litigation attorney.
