Reasons To Hire a Lawyer After a Dog Bite
Dogs, while normally the fun and friendly family pet, can also viciously and violently attack adults and children, leaving them scared and scarred for life. Studies have shown that over four million people in the United States are bitten by dogs each year, and up to 13,000 of those people are hospitalized for severe injuries. Unfortunately, children are at a higher risk of being severely injured by a dog bite because they may not know how to act around dogs; and, even a short, negative interaction with a dog – such as pulling a tail or tugging on their ears – can cause the dog to bite.
