Dog Bite Injuries
When a dog bites you or a loved one, very often it can be the cause of severe injuries. Unfortunately, more than half of all dog bite injuries involve children. Even worse, most of those injuries involved serious damage to the face of the victim.
If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog, most likely it is not the fault of the dog, but of the dog owner. Dog owners have a responsibility to keep their pets properly contained, inside a house or yard. They must also post warning signs if there’s any chance someone could unknowingly come into contact with their dog.
You Must Prove Negligence
The failure to take reasonable precautions to prevent a dog from biting someone is called negligence, and if someone’s negligence has resulted in your being bitten by a dog, you are entitled to compensation for your medical bills, pain, lost wages, and in some cases, punitive damages.
