Have you been the victim of an animal attack?
Thousands of innocent people every year are bitten, seriously injured and even killed due to dog bite injuries or animal attacks. Each year there are more than 850,000 dog bites requiring medical attention and over four million dog bites ranging from minor injuries to serious dog maulings, resulting in bodily injury and even death.
Children In the United States alone, approximately 100 children are bitten by dogs every day and approximately 92 of these children will need medical attention. Dog bite statistics show that once a dog has bitten, the dog is more likely to bite again. Statistics also show that the dog bites that people usually sustain occur in their own neighborhoods. While dog bite fatalities are rare, statistically 15 to 20 people are killed in vicious fatal dog attacks every year. One third of all injury claims against homeowner liability policies are related to dog bites and dog attacks.
Cost of Animal Attack If you were injured or a family member was injured or killed by any animal, you can sue the person who has, or should have had, control over the animal. Costs of treatment for the animal bites are often very high. Animal bite treatment can include emergency room visits, hospitalization, psychological treatment and often plastic surgery. You will be entitled to damages for such medical expenses, in addition to reimbursement for lost wages, pain and suffering, and sometimes punitive damages.
Legal Matters are often time-sensitive.
