Dog bite injuries affect approximately 4.7 million people in the United States
annually.
Of this population, about 800,000 dog bite victims require medical
treatment each year. Most dog bite victims are children, as it is
the second leading cause of injury to minors.
Dog bite attacks
account for one out of three homeowner's liability insurance claims,
which translates into more than one billion dollars in pay-outs
annually. Dog bite claims fall under the umbrella of
personal injury
law, where an injured party has the legal right to seek compensation
for injuries caused by another party's actions or negligence.
Although animal-attack claims most commonly
involve dog bites, many other types of
domesticated animals, such as ferrets, cats, and
even birds, can also bite humans. Even
non-domesticated animals, such as large cats
ordinarily found in the wild, but owned by some
people as pets have been known to attack
children and adults. An owner's liability for
injuries caused by his or her pet, if any, will
vary greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
A lawyer from our firm who is experienced in
handling personal injury claims is an excellent
source for accurate advice and information if
you have been injured in animal attack.
There are many
reasons why a dog may attack. Many dog bite injuries occur when a dog is
trying to defend or protect his territory, establish dominance over
his/her victim, is in a new, unfamiliar, or threatening environment,
and when disturbed while eating, sleeping, or coveting a toy or
treat.

may increase the likelihood that a
dog will bite.
-

to bite.
-
A Dog

up or the victim of any form of mistreatment.
-

more often than females, especially those between the ages of one
and five.
-
All breeds of dog bite,
although statistic show that Rottweilers and
Pit Bulls perpetrate approximately half of all
dog bite related fatalities.
