Dog Bites
Dog bites happen more often than people think, and they can cause serious injuries. Some lead to infections, scarring, or even long-term damage. In the worst cases, they can be fatal. Every year in the U.S., about 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs, and around 800,000 of those need medical care. The majority of victims are children.
If you or someone you care about has been seriously injured by a dog, you may have the right to seek compensation. In some cases, not just the dog’s owner, but a landlord, care provider, or even a previous owner may be held responsible.
