Dog attacks can be lethal. Our law
firm will determine if the dog was
bought for the intent of fighting,
guarding or protection. We would
investigate if the fault of the
attack was one of the owner due to:
dog allowed to roam freely, chained
dog, dogs left unsupervised around
children, dogs encouraged to behave
aggressively, animal neglect or
abuse leading to attack.
In recent years, the dogs
responsible for the bulk of the
homicides are pit bulls,
Rottweiler's, German shepherds,
huskies, Alaskan malamutes, Doberman
pinschers, chows, Great Danes, St..
Bernard's and akitas. Pitbull type
dogs were involved in approximately
a third of human dog bite related
fatalities.
If you have been attacked by anyone
of these breed of dogs, contact our

experienced dog bite lawyer can

Try to identify the dog that bit you
and see if you can get the address
to the house at which the dog bite
occurred. If it's a stray, you could
end up having to get rabies
treatments, which is very painful.
However, if the dog belongs to
someone you may not have to get
rabies treatment and you also may be
eligible for a Personal Injury
Lawsuit claim against the owner.
Steps to take if attacked by a
vicious dog.
If injured by an animal attack, seek
medical attention immediately. After
you've received medical attention,
try to find out all you can about
the dangerous vicious dog in
question and it's owner, including
whether or not the owner has
insurance. Once you've contacted the
insurance company, be sure to get a
claim number.
Take good pictures of the injuries
on the very day of the attack in
question and make sure to document
the appearance of infections, bite
wounds and marks on the face if you
were bitten on the face, and other
important visual images resulting of
the attack.
If there were any witnesses to the
animal attack, be sure to get their
names and numbers and witness
accounts of the attack. The sooner
you interview witnesses, the better
because memories fade in time and
you need the facts as fresh as
possible.
