Every year, millions of Americans suffer injuries as a result of a bite from dogs and other animals. Over 850,000 of these people will need to seek medical treatment because of the severity of their injuries. Children are especially vulnerable to the ill effects of animal bites, and are the group most likely to need medical treatment. Dog owners have a responsibility to ensure that their animal does not cause harm to others.
Animal bites can be more serious than many people realize. If you are the victim of a bite, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible, there is always a risk that a bite can lead to an infection. After this, you should get information about the responsible animal and their owner, report the incident to local authorities, and gather evidence. Finally, you should seek out a qualified personal injury attorney. Following the steps listed above will allow your injury lawyer to make a determination of liability and potentially improve your chances of a positive outcome in the legal process.
