Sacramento Dog Bite Attorney
Dog bites are a health and safety concern in both the United States and California. Estey & Bomberger, one of California’s premier personal injury law firms, handles Sacramento dog bite attacks and mauling cases, including many dog bite injuries to children, the most common victims. Wounds from dog bites can cause scarring and disfigurement, pain and costly medical bills. Cosmetic surgery may be necessary, which may not be covered by a victim’s own insurance company. If you have been injured, a dog bite injury attorney can help you recover the full and fair compensation you deserve.
Dog Bite Injuries
An estimated 800,000 people in the United States require medical treatment for dog bites each year. More than half of all dog bite victims are children. Mail carriers and delivery persons are also susceptible to lower extremity dog bite injuries. Dog bites and attacks can cause disfiguration and permanent scarring from abrasions, puncture wounds, bone fractures, cuts and lacerations. Dog bites also cause long-lasting emotional and mental distress, fear and anxiety.
Fatal Dog Attacks
Fatal dog attacks and maulings are relatively rare. There were 33 fatal dog attacks in the United States in 2007. Fatal dog attacks are sometimes called “canine homicides”. Families of fatal dog attacks can pursue compensation through a wrongful death claim. An attorney familiar with dog bite laws can help you obtain justice by recovering the maximum possible compensation for a claim.
Dog Bites & Dog Breeds
Any breed of dog can potentially cause serious injury. A particular dog’s propensity to bite will depend on a dog’s heredity, sex, training, health, reproductive status (fixed vs. intact) and quality of relationship with owner. Statistically, male dogs are more likely to bite than female dogs, and working dogs are more likely to bite than hound dogs. The most common breeds that bite include:
- Chow Chows
- Doberman Pinschers
- German Shepherds
- Huskies
- Pit Bull Terriers
- Rottweilers
What To Do After A Dog Bite or Attack
After a dog bite or any animal attack, establishing the animal’s ownership is essential. Determine the breed and age of the dog, and its owner. If possible, find out if the dog has any diseases or illnesses and if it has been vaccinated. If witnesses were present, write down their names and contact information. Seek medical attention as soon as possible and tell your doctor that you have been bitten by a dog. If you have suffered a facial injury, ask to be evaluated by a cosmetic surgeon or plastic surgeon.
