Atlanta Accident Attorney
Dog Bite
More than 500,000 people per year are bitten by aggressive dogs. Of those, a small number actually result in fatalities. Unfortunately, most of these victims are children.
While most dogs are not violent, even the friendliest dogs can bite. If you or someone you love is bitten by a dog, make sure that you thoroughly clean the wounds and immediately seek medical attention. Be sure to ask for a doctor’s advice about rabies and other animal borne diseases.
Next, contact local animal control officials to report the incident. Hopefully, animal control officers will be able to track down the dog and determine if it’s been vaccinated for rabies.
Below are some factors that are considered when determining whether a dog’s owner is liable for an attack:
• The dog’s prior behavior
• The use of a warning sign such as “Beware of Dog”
• If the dog was provoked
