Warren County Dog Bite Lawyer
Throughout human history, people have domesticated a variety of animals for companionship, labor, or as a source of food. One of the most domesticated animals is the dog. Dogs have become one of the most popular pets for individuals and families to keep, even though horrific dog bites and attacks often make the news. Despite the danger, many people fail to approach and treat dogs with the appropriate level of respect and caution.
It does not matter how domesticated a pet has become or how long the dog has been gentle and loving, it still has instincts that sometimes run contrary to what we would expect them to do. Pet owners are legally responsible for their pets’ behavior at all times.
Sadly, not all pet owners are as vigilant as they should be in controlling their pets. As a result, nearly five million people are injured in the United States each year. Of those five million attacks, more than 800,000 require medical attention. If you have been attacked by an animal, contact Warren County dog bite lawyer Shawn M. Stepleton today at 513-321-7733.
Typical Dog Attack Injuries
When a dog attacks or bites a person, there are several kinds of injuries that occur with great frequency. Typical dog attack injuries include:
- Bone fractures
- Serious cuts and lacerations
- Permanent disfigurement
- Accumulation of scar tissue
- Emotional distress and scarring
- Soft tissue injuries
- Impairment or disability
Those who have been attacked by an animal may be eligible to receive compensation for their injuries from the animal’s owner.
