Dog Bites and What to Do if You Are Bitten

By Allen Flatt Ballidis & Leslie on January 30, 2023

Post Image

Dog bites can be deadly, cause serious bodily injuries, and require immediate medical attention – especially for children.

The dog may not have intended to bite the victim, it may have resulted from playtime, or may have been due to dog owner neglect. Most people do not realize dog bite injuries are covered by the owner’s homeowners or renters insurance.

Our experienced attorneys have helped many clients get the support they deserve.

Regardless of the situation, if you are bitten by a dog, we suggest you:

  1. Call local animal control
  2. Determine if the dog is current on rabies vaccinations
  3. Learn if the dog has a history of prior bites

Stray dogs can pose a risk to both children and adults. With no owner to control them, they can attack and injure innocent people. When a dog has no clear owner, it may be difficult to recover compensation for a dog bite. In some cases, the owner of the property where the attack occurred may be held liable for housing a dangerous animal, even if the property owner is not the dog owner.

Children Recovering from Dog Bite Trauma

By Allen Flatt Ballidis & Leslie on April 4, 2020

Post Image

Dog bites, while seemingly simple, can come with a host of physical traumas, including scarring, broken bones, and risks of infections. But dog bite attacks don’t only cause physical injuries. They can also have long-term psychological effects, particularly in children, and have been linked to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The resulting trauma can cause a fear of animals that the victim never experienced before, following them for years if not properly treated with therapy.
