Hamilton County Dog Bite Lawyer

Dogs are loved the world over for being excellent companions to their human owners. Because so many dogs are really “man’s best friend,” some people fail to treat dogs with the respect that is due to any animal when it is approached. As a result, dog bites occur.

It doesn’t matter how domesticated an animal is, it is imperative that people keep in mind that animals have instincts that may be hazardous to humans. Those who own pets are expected to keep their dogs and other pets under control.

As a result of owners who do not keep their pets under control, there are far too many people injured in animal attacks and encounters annually. It has been reported that roughly 5 million people are injured by dog bites each year. Of the 5 million, one out of every six people will require medical attention for the injuries sustained in their encounters.

When an animal attack or dog bite occurs, there are a number of potentially long term injuries and disabilities that may result. These injuries can result in extremely high medical bills. Common injuries and damages include:

• Scar tissue accumulation
• Broken bones
• Disfigurement
• Emotional distress and scarring
• Soft tissue injuries
• Physical distress and scarring
