Dog and Animal Attacks

Lawyers for Dog Bite Accident Victims

Dogs are man's best friend, but they can also be vicious animals capable of causing serious injuries and death to those around them. Despite leash laws, dog bites occur with alarming frequency. The American Veterinary Medical Association reports:

• An estimated 4.7 million Americans will be bitten this year.
• Children are the primary victims of dog bites.
• As many as 800,000 people annually require medical treatment for dog bites.
• About 12 people each year die from dog attacks.

It is not only aggressive breeds of dogs that pose a risk. Many dog bite victims were attacked by dogs their owners believed could never hurt anyone.
