Tulsa’s Top Dog Bite Attorney
Whether you’re a dog owner or just someone who likes to go for walks or hang out at a public park, dog bites are a potential risk that is worth considering. This is especially true if you care for small children who are more vulnerable to dog attacks and less able to retreat or defend themselves. Many people purchase large or aggressive dog breeds for the novelty and have no idea what they are actually getting themselves into. Dogs can grow into extremely powerful creatures that can be both dangerous and hard to control.
This isn’t to mention, even small dogs can cause a significant amount of damage if they bite you. Many people are lax with their dog because it’s small, and they may be more likely to let it run off of its leash. What they may not realize is that even a small terrier or a chihuahua has the potential to cause serious injury with its bite, including the potential of infection.
It is the responsibility of dog owners to keep their dog under control and to make sure that it doesn’t bite or otherwise harm anyone. An unruly dog doesn’t have to bite someone to injure them, if a large friendly dog runs off of its leash and knocks over a child resulting in bodily injury, that dog’s owner is responsible.
Dog Bite Stats
According to the Center for Disease Control, there are about 4.7 million dogs bites per year in the United States alone. If that isn’t alarming enough, right at around 10% of those dog bites result in an infection. A dog bite can be a very significant injury and sometimes they even prove fatal. This is especially true if there are multiple dogs involved or the attack victim is a small child. Dog bites are something you should always be prepared for.
You should have a personal injury attorney who is experienced in dog bite claims ready to contact at any time. There are over 90 million dogs in America and they live in around 40% of U.S. households, making dog bites a risk worth thinking about if you’re going to be out in public.
