DOG BITES AND ANIMAL ATTACKS
WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT DOG BITE INJURY CLAIMS
More than 37 percent of U.S. households own dogs, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVM). In Chester County, the percentage is probably even higher. With so many dogs among us, it is no wonder that dogs sometimes cause serious injuries.
HOW OUR LAW FIRM CAN HELP
If a dog bit you or seriously injured a member of your family, contact the attorneys of Goldberg, Goldberg & Maloney in West Chester. Our personal injury lawyers help people who suffered dog bites and other animal attacks pursue financial compensation for damages such as medical care, pain and suffering, lost income and permanent disfigurement.
Dog bites can cause permanent scarring, broken bones, and lacerations, crush injuries and puncture wounds that lead to infections. Dog bite victims may require multiple surgeries, including plastic surgery. Even with the best of treatment, the physical and emotional scars can last a lifetime.
SOBERING STATISTICS
According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
Dogs bite an estimated 4.7 million people annually
Most victims are children
An American has a one in 50 chance of being bitten by a dog each year
Dog bites resulted in 33 deaths in 2007
In Pennsylvania, it doesn’t matter whether you own a dangerous breed or a lap dog. The dog’s owner is legally responsible for damages caused by his or her pet. Our attorneys will identify the responsible party and the applicable insurance policy or policies. Most often, this will be the homeowners’ policy of the dog’s owner.
