In 2019, approximately 4.5 million dog bites occurred in the United States and nearly 1 out of 5 bites became infected. In the previous year, 27,000 people had to have reconstructive surgery because of a dog bite.
First thing to do in documenting a Dog Bite Injury is to seek medical attention depending on the severity of the injury.
Make sure you get the name and contact information of the dog owner. This is important incase you need to get the medical and vaccine records of the dog.
Report your injury to the police and request a copy of the report. Obtaining a police report is very important for the insurance company.
Take photographs of your injuries, of the dog and the location where the injury happened.
We recommend that you do not accept any settlement or admit fault with the owner’s insurance company.
Because the severity of a dog bite can vary along with the need of medical attention, do your best to save any clothing damaged by the dog.
