TESTIMONIALS

Juan G.

A dog bite can be very serious and lead to rabies or tetanus infection. Immediate medical care is needed when the bite is from a dog that has or might have rabies. Symptoms of infection include redness, swelling, increased pain, and oozing. A doctor should look at these symptoms right away. Bite wounds from dogs can range from minor to life-threatening and need to be treated quickly to prevent infection or traumatic complications. Most dog bites affect children ages 6-13 but can happen to anyone at anytime.

Did You Know?

It is a fact of life that dogs bite. But dog bites are not a simply a childhood rite of passage. Dogs bite about 4.5 million Americans of all ages every year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Some 885,000 dog bite victims each year require medical attention – about half of them are children. In one recent year, more than 27,000 people underwent reconstructive surgery as a result of being bitten by dogs, the CDC says. Because these accidents are so common, you must be prepared to call a dog bite lawyer as soon as the incidence occurs. The commitment of a dog bite attorney could spell the difference between a failed case and a successful outcome for anyone seeking full compensation after an dog bite in the state of Georgia.

Common Dog Bite Injuries

When a dog or animal attack occurs, regardless of whether the owner was negligent or not, it can leave them facing responsibility for the incident. This means that they may be liable to cover any medical expenses or damages that the victim experienced. Sadly, many who endure these types of attacks cannot be compensated enough financially to cover the post-traumatic stress and anxiety they may suffer from following such an attack. They may also suffer from permanent or disabling injuries that make everyday life all the more challenging.

Some of the more serious injuries and issues include the following:

Scarring or disfigurement
Severed fingers
Punctured wounds
Scratches and cuts
Physiological trauma
