Dog bite injuries can include heavy bruising, deep cuts or puncture wounds, resulting in disfigurement or loss of limbs. These injuries can serious - even life threatening.

Dog Bites and Children

Children, unfortunately, are often the victims of dog bites. Smaller, more vulnerable and often curious around strange dogs, children can be perceived as threatening to animals. It is devastating to see a child suffer, especially from permanent disfigurement or emotional scarring. If your child has suffered a dog bite injury, contact us as soon as possible to assert a claim for damages.
