People generally love dogs. Unfortunately, sometimes dogs attack. And when they do, dog attacks can sometimes cause severe personal injuries. Dog bites are the most common types of animal attacks. Each year, dogs bite about 4.5 million people, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). About 885,000 people - or almost one in five of those who are attacked - need medical treatment. Tens of thousands of people need reconstruction surgery as a result of their injuries.
These types of injuries can stay with victims for the rest of their lives. With dog bite injuries so prevalent in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, it's important to understand how to keep your family safe from dog attacks. It's equally important to understand what to do if you've been bitten by a dog.
With so much at stake, dog bite injury victims need someone to stand up for their legal rights. If you or your child was attacked by a dog, turn to the lawyers at Flager & Yockey, P.C. An attorney with our firm can fight to help you get the full compensation you deserve. We are not afraid to challenge insurance companies.
Children are more at risk in dog attacks than are adults, especially youngsters between 5 and 9 years old. The CDC reports that children are more likely to receive medical attention for dog-bite injuries than adults. A dog bite can result in physical and emotional scarring, trauma and disfigurement.
If a dog bit you or a friend or family member, you should not have to be responsible for the unanticipated medical costs. A dog owner's homeowner's insurance policy will cover most claims related to a dog-bite injury.
