Dog Bites
Dog Bites can be serious. All dog bites carry a risk of infection. Studies show that on average approximately 4 million Americans are bitten by dogs every year. It is also shown that at least 1 out of every 4 require medical attention. About 45% of those victims are children.
Unfortunately, many dog bite injury victims bear the cost of medical treatment. If you have been injured in a dog attack in Monterey County, San Benito County, or Santa Cruz County, dog attack, the owner of the dog can be held responsible for the injuries inflicted by her or his pet.
Many dog bite victims long after the bit occurred fear another attack. Some dog bit victims suffer Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, including small children. The fear of a being the victim of another dog bite can return every time you jog on the beach, walk on a public sidewalk, or enter a dog owner’s home or property.
