Being attacked by a dog can be a traumatic experience. A dog bite, mauling, or being knocked down by a dog can cause severe injuries to both children and adults.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention found that each year, over 800,000 people are treated for dog bites. While injuries may range from scratching to open wounds, certain breeds of dogs have also been involved in the fatal attack of people.
Not only can wounds, broken bones and lacerations from dog bites prove to be a serious and traumatic injury, but there are also instances where infections as a result of a dog bite or attack may arise.
A dog owner may be strictly liable for the actions of their dog. If a dog bites a person, causes an accident, attacks other people or causes other injuries as a result of the dogs actions, a dog owner may be responsible. A homeowner's insurance policy or renter's insurance policy may provide coverage to pay for the damages.
