Dogs are responsible for biting over four million people every year according to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. A dog bit injury can be serious and cause disfiguring wounds and emotional trauma.

Children between five and nine years of age suffer the highest rate of injury. Untrained and unsocialized dogs that are not neutered or spayed are a real danger to everyone. It is the dog owners who need to be made aware that they have a responsibility for training, socializing and controlling their dogs.

There are strict dog bite liability laws that are in force to protect an unsuspecting public from irresponsible dog owners. The failure to protect the public from a dangerous and aggressive dog is considered negligence. Many dog bite lawsuits are settled without going to court, but if you do not have an experienced dog bite attorney representing you, you are unlikely to obtain the financial compensation you are entitled to for your pain and suffering.

To prevent a dog bite injury, never approach an unfamiliar dog, and report stray or aggressive dogs to the proper authorities.
