- Infection
- Nerve damage
- Tissue damage
- Mental and/or emotional distress (fear of dogs)
If A Dog Bites You
It is important to take some necessary steps after suffering a dog bite. You should not only have your injury treated, but you want to ensure important evidence is preserved to build a case for your compensation.
1. Seek Proper Medical Treatment: Since dog bites may actually be more serious than they initially appear, scarring may be exacerbated and an infection may be contracted if not treated in a timely manner.
2. Identify the Animal and Owner: Any information on the dog and owner are helpful in building a case. Information such as name and address, dog licensing documents, and papers regarding the current health of the dog, are always needed.
3. Witness Statements: Anyone who witnessed the attack should be contacted and their information obtained.
