Dog Bite Attack Injury.
Georgia Dog Bite Attorneys.
Dog bites are estimated to cost victims over a billion
dollars annually. Besides the huge monetary cost, dog bites
can lead to traumatic results. Physically and emotionally, a
dog bite can last a lifetime. The medical costs associated
with recovering from a dog bite can be staggering. Children
suffering from dog bites are likely to be bitten on the face
and neck, requiring extensive plastic surgery and extensive
medical bills.
After being attacked by a dog, there are some important steps
you should follow. You should be most concerned with your
personal safety and medical treatment, but also keep in mind
that you need to identify the dog that bit you. If you
cannot accurately identify the animal later, you may be
giving up your right to obtain compensation for expenses and
possible punitive damages in the event of gross negligence
on the part of the owner.
According to the The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), dog
bite statistics show that almost 5 million people suffer
from dog bites every year. Almost 400,000 people, of which
more than half are children, require medical attention for
these dog bites. The statistics go on to show that more than
a dozen people die each year from injuries sustained by dog
bites.
The impact of lost wages, accumulating medical bills, and
other expenses can be overwhelming to injured individuals
and their families. If you or a loved one has been involved
in a dog bite attack, speak with a lawyer who is committed
to you and your case. So please
contact us for a free
consultation as soon as possible.
