Understanding Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bites can range from minor scratches to severe injuries, infections, permanent scarring, and lasting psychological trauma. Common injuries include:

  • Lacerations, puncture wounds, and bruising

  • Nerve or tissue damage

  • Scarring or disfigurement

  • Rabies or other infections

  • Emotional trauma, including anxiety and PTSD

Prompt medical care is critical after any dog bite. Our attorneys work closely with medical professionals to document your injuries and ensure your claim reflects your full physical and emotional recovery needs.

  • The dog’s history of aggression or prior incidents

  • Owner negligence or failure to control the dog
