Dog Bite

The statistics of dog bite incidents

In the United States, California ranks first in the list of states with fatal dog attacks and dog bite injuries. The number of victims, either children or adult dramatically increases every year and still continues to increase. This has prompted the interest of personal injury attorneys to take dog bite injuries as a special case of expertise.

The risk of dog bites

The increasing number of dog bite incidents has shocked the general populace over the years. Not only can it be very physically and emotionally painful, it can also cause disfigurement for life. Sadly though, the usual victims of dog bites are children. This is even more disturbing because at their young age, they are made to suffer more serious damages because of the animal attack.

Every year, aggressive dogs kill most of their bitten victims. The legal responsibility of dog owners or possessors can be determined according to the dog’s preceding behaviour like whether or not it has previously bitten and caused injury upon another prior to the latest incident. The use of warning signs such as a “Beware of Dogs” sign, and the specific California laws on dog bites are also taken into consideration.

A dog bite victim can recover compensation from the owner, possessor or caretaker whose carelessness has caused the attack. Such person is considered to have violated the law that disallows dogs from being at large. Although he knows fully well that it has a history of harming people in the past, he still nevertheless continued to cuddle such dangerous animal.
