Orange County Dog Bite Injury
Dog attacks can be lethal. Our law firm will determine if
the dog was bought for the intent of fighting, guarding or
protection. We would investigate if the fault of the attack
was one of the owner due to: dog allowed to roam freely,
chained dog, dogs left unsupervised around children, dogs
encouraged to behave aggressively, animal neglect or abuse
leading to attack.
In recent years, the dogs responsible for the bulk of the
homicides are pit bulls, Rottweiler's, German shepherds,
huskies, Alaskan malamutes, Doberman pinschers, chows, Great
Danes, St.. Bernard's and akitas. Pitbull type dogs were
involved in approximately a third of human dog bite related
fatalities.

Try to identify the dog that bit you and see if you can get
the address to the house at which the dog bite occurred. If
it's a stray, you could end up having to get rabies
treatments, which is very painful. However, if the dog
belongs to someone you may not have to get rabies treatment
and you also may be eligible for a Personal Injury Lawsuit
claim against the owner.
Steps to take if attacked by a vicious dog.
If injured by an animal attack, seek medical attention
immediately. After you've received medical attention, try to
find out all you can about the dangerous vicious dog in
question and it's owner, including whether or not the owner
has insurance. Once you've contacted the insurance company,
be sure to get a claim number.
Take good pictures of the injuries on the very day of the
attack in question and make sure to document the appearance
of infections, bite wounds and marks on the face if you were
bitten on the face, and other important visual images
resulting of the attack.
If there were any witnesses to the animal attack, be sure to
get their names and numbers and witness accounts of the
attack. The sooner you interview witnesses, the better
because memories fade in time and you need the facts as
fresh as possible.
