DOG BITE ACCIDENTS

Dog bites are a major public health issue and contribute to the burden of injuries seen nationwide. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in the United States (US) alone, an estimated 4.5 million dog bites occur each year.

Dog bite accidents and other animal attack injuries are in, every aspect, a traumatic ordeal, often leaving victims with painful injuries as well as costly medical bills. Negligent, abusive, or otherwise poor dog owners put those around their animal at risk, and should be held responsible for any ensuing damage.
