Dog bites can do major injury to a person, especially if the dog has not been vaccinated or properly taken care of. Many cities and towns have leash laws which require owners to keep their dogs on leashes at all times, and if they do not follow that law, then they may be liable for the damage that their dogs may cause.

Although many American households treat their dogs as family members rather than pets, it still does not change the fact that dogs are animals, sometimes with wild tendencies. In most of the dog attacks, it is extremely difficult for a person to break up the fight or make the dog stop attacking. This may be attributable to a dog’s ultimate nature, and may have to do with the environment in which the attack took place. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are 4.5 million people bitten by dogs every year. Have you or a loved one been attacked by a dog? If so, you need to call Greenberg & Rudman LLP at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO) right away for a free and confidential consultation on your rights.

Approximately one in five people who are bitten, about 885,000, require medical attention for the dog bite injuries. In 2006, there were approximately 31,000 dog bite victims who had to undergo reconstructive surgery for their injuries. The risk of dog bites for children is highest for those between the ages of five and nine and children are more likely to receive medical attention than adults are for dog bites. Adult males are also more likely to be bitten by dogs than females. The incidence of dog bites is associated with having a dog in the household. As the number of dogs in a household increases, so does the chance of dog bites. In fact, adults with two or more dogs in the household are five times more likely to be bitten by dogs than those people with no dogs in the home.

Owners are responsible for their dogs’ actions, especially when the attack is on another human being. If the dog attacks another dog, it might depend on the circumstances surrounding the case. For example, if a dog is off his leash and attacks another dog, then the owner might be negligent. However, regardless of whether the dog is on or off his leash while it attacks a human being, then the owner will likely be responsible regardless of the circumstances. In order to determine liability for you case, it would be best if you consult with an attorney. Give the attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP a call at 1-800-252-9776 (1-800-ALAWPRO) for a free and confidential consultation. We will take your case on a contingency fee basis, which means that you do not pay any costs unless we win the case for you. Please visit our website, www.alawpro.com to read more about dog bites.

Dog bites can lead to fatal injuries to victims, and massive legal liability for dog owners. According to the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs each year. Out of these 4.7 million people:

• 800,000 people seek medical attention for the bites;


• Half of the victims are children;


• 386,000 victims require medical attention in an emergency facility;


• Approximately 12 victims die from dog bites.

In 2001, San Francisco was shaken up by a particularly malicious dog bite case. The victim, Diane Whipple, was killed in her apartment building when her neighbor’s two dogs attacked her. The neighbors, Marjorie Knoller and Robert Noel, were not only liable for civil damages in the form of a wrongful death suit, but were also criminally convicted for involuntary manslaughter.

Dog bites are strict liability cases, which means that as long as the victim was legally on the property where the attack occurred, and can prove that he/she suffered injuries, then the dog owner will be responsible for those injuries. Dog owners are liable for civil damages in the form of medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and possibly even loss of present and future earning capacity. Greenberg & Rudman LLP will advance all costs and expenses related to your dog bite case, and we will not recoup these costs unless we win your case.
