Dog Bites

A dog bite can be a minor event or a life-threatening occurrence. The size of the dog, the severity of the attack and the age or stature of the person involved often make a significant difference in the ability to fend off an attack. Unfortunately, children are more prone to being bitten than adults and suffer the largest percentage of dog bites.

Being bitten by a dog can be a traumatic experience, not only leaving physical scars but also psychological ones. In the worst case scenarios, children and adults have been killed in animal attacks.

States as well as many local areas and municipalities have passed laws to protect people against dog bites and other animal attacks, holding owners liable. At the Law Office of Kari H.
