A Scary Situation
Steps to Help Prevent Dog Bites After centuries of living beside humans, dogs have earned their title of man’s best friend. There are 79.5 million lovable and loyal dogs living in the United States. Most of these canines are pets, living in households where they are considered members of the family. However, no matter how nice a dog may be, it’s important to remember that any dog can bite. Over 4.5 million people in the United States are bitten by dogs every year, and at least half of those victims are children. Dog bites account for a third of homeowner’s insurance liability claims, costing around $700 million nationwide. Most of these bites were completely avoidable. There is no specific breed of dog that poses a higher risk of biting, and even the most well-behaved dogs can bite if startled or provoked. Everyone, especially children, needs to know how to behave around dogs appropriately and how to interpret the signs of when a dog may bite. Never interact with a dog that is: Being cautious is the first step to preventing dog bites, but they can still happen. If you or your child is a victim of a dog bite, it’s important to take appropriate steps. Seek immediate medical attention for any bite, document the attack, get the dog owner’s name and insurance information, and report the incident. Remember, you are not overreacting if you call the police, animal control, or an attorney after an attack. Some people worry the dog will be put down if other people get involved. If the dog owner is someone they know, the victim may hesitate to get help. Regardless of what will happen to the dog, you will need help paying for medical bills, lost wages, and potential plastic surgery. You can only get this help if you file an official report and pursue a personal injury claim. Dog bites are scary, and if you need help after a dog bite, give Spada Law Group a call at 617.889.5000.
