Animal Bite (Dog Bite)

<h2>Dog Bite</h2>Animals are often kept as close companions amongst humans. They are there for you and dogs specifically are even considered “Man’s Best Friend.” However, these interactions can be less than friendly. Sometimes dogs bite, and you are left with injuries such as abrasions, puncture wounds and pain. Dog attacks can hurt and cause disfigurement, attacks turning fatal.It is the responsibility of a dog owner to ensure their dog cannot cause harm to others, such as keeping them leashed and wearing a muzzle in public places, if the dog is reactive. If you enter someone’s home and they have a reactive dog, it is the duty of the owner to ensure the dog is kept away from you and does not have access to attack. A dog owner knows if their dog is dangerous to others and they will be found liable for the attack. If the dog does bite, the owner is responsible for your medial bills, loss of wages, and compensating your pain and suffering.<h3>What do I do if I was bitten by a dog?</h3>If a dog has bitten you, you should take the following steps:·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Call Pre-hospital Car Provider (call an ambulance): Follow Pre-Hospital care provider’s recommendations.·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Obtain the dog owner’s information: If possible, make sure to get the contact information from the dog owner, such as name, telephone number and current address.·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Report the dog bite: Call 311 and tell them you were bitten by a dog.
