Dog Bite Attorneys - Animal Bites Lawyers

Dog/Animal Bites:

Dog bites are by far the most common type of animal attack. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, about 4.7 million people are the victims of dog bites each year.

Dog bite injuries typically involve deep bite wounds, as a dog's powerful jaws and teeth can tear skin and crush bones. Victims of dog bites often require several surgeries, including reconstructive surgery to repair the damage. Infection is often a problem, as a bite by an unvaccinated dog may put a victim at risk for rabies.

In the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the owner or keeper of a dog is strictly liable for his or her dog, even if it is the first time the dog has injured someone. As long as the injured victim was not trespassing, teasing or tormenting the dog, the keeper or owner of the dog is liable for any injuries sustained.
