Getting bitten by a dog is quite painful. The bite can get infected and you may be facing weeks of medication because the dog wasn’t vaccinated. Any dog can bite; even the friendliest dogs will bite if they feel like they are being threatened. This doesn’t mean you are causing the problem, it is just that the dogs may have a feeling of being trapped, so they lash out. Dog bites can be devastating and can come on so suddenly that you have no time to react or shield yourself from the vicious attack.
Many times, these bites happen in residential areas and are due to the owner of the dogs letting them run free and unsupervised. Some of the breeds that are considered very aggressive, Dobermans, Rottweilers and Pit Bulls, are the worst culprits for your being on the receiving end of a serious dog bite.
The owner may try to convince you that this isn’t his or her dog or that he or she doesn’t have any insurance to pay for medical bills that inevitably will come up. Before you cave, call an attorney from The Gold Law Firm to help. We know how to deal with this type of situation.
As the owner of the dog who did the biting, some things that he or she needs to do is to always have the dog on a leash if it is outside, unless there is a fenced-in yard that the dog cannot escape from. Socializing a dog carefully is another action that may prevent this from happening again.
