Dogs are meant to be pets. In some cases dogs are taught to be watch dogs. Unfortunately, these lovely pets sometimes act inappropriately and bite people.
First, you should seek medical attention. Dogs can cause serious injuries and even death. They may also carry rabies which is a serious disease if not properly treated. After receiving medical attention for your injuries, it is strongly suggested you consult an attorney. An attorney experienced in handling dog bite cases can evaluate your situation and advise you whether your case is the type where you can collect monetary damages.
It is important that you obtain the name and address and phone number, if possible, of the dog’s owner. If you don’t have this information you may want to consult with a neighbor or someone else in the neighborhood that can provide you with this information. In the event there are witnesses to the dog attack, you should obtain names, addresses and phone numbers of the witnesses.
Owners are responsible for their dogs. In the event the dog has dangerous or viscous animal propensities, you may be able to collect for the injuries received from the dog attack. If the owner of a dog knows his dog is viscous or has attacked other individuals, he or she would be responsible for seeing to it that the dog is restrained.
If you or a loved one have suffered a serious injury because of someone else’s negligence, you deserve compensation. You deserve money to pay for medical bills, pain and suffering, lost wages, and other expenses caused by the accident. And you deserve it soon.
