When the owner of a potentially dangerous dog neglects to handle the animal in a safe and responsible manner, serious attacks and injuries can occur. If you or a loved one has been injured in a dog biting incident, recovery costs for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering or disfigurement may be awarded.

What should I do if I’ve been attacked by a dog?
Seek necessary medical attention immediately. Report the dog biting incident to the animal control agency in your area.

What type of documentation should I keep?
It is important to keep copies of your medical bills and any work absence slips, as well as the report that was filed with the animal control agency. Be sure to take pictures of your injuries and hold on to receipts from medical treatments or prescription medications.

Who is responsible?
If you were bitten by a dog while in a public place or lawfully at the residence of the dog owner, the owner is likely responsible for any injuries that you have suffered. The dog owner could be held accountable if there was carelessness in handling the dog, or if the dog was known to be potentially dangerous.
