SPOT, NO! Dog Bite 101
Dogs hold a dear place in many of our hearts, but what do you do when a dog causes an injury? Of course, the first step in “Dog Bite 101” is to assess the situation and receive medical attention. This may be as simple as getting into a car and going in for stitches, but if the situation is more serious, do not hesitate to get an ambulance. No matter what, you need to make sure the bite receives appropriate care and the authorities are aware of the incident. Remember, even if you think it’s no big deal, you aren’t the only person who can be hurt. What happens if instead of biting you, the dog attacked a child? That’s the kind of thing the police need to know about for public safety. Medical care is especially important because of the risk of infection — by whatever bacteria are living in the dog’s mouth, but also by rabies, which can be the reason a dog bit you in the first place. In humans, rabies is almost always fatal if not treated in time.
Believe it or not, even if your dog bite does not result in hospitalization, you have many legal rights in this situation — as you should! Being bitten by a dog is a traumatic experience physically, but it also carries emotional weight the courts are often sympathetic to. Having a carnivorous animal lunge at you, teeth bared, taps into some of our earliest, most primal fears, and the psychological effects can be significant. In the wake of this, you need to get help from someone who will preserve your legal rights while making sure you’re taken care of. It can be hard to know what to do next or what your options even are. Our firm answers questions about dog bite cases regularly and has serious experience litigating them as well. One phone call to us at 516-271-3489 will set you on the path to justice, or at least to justice after the attack.
