Dog Bites
San Antonio Dog Bite Lawyer
For millions of Americans, having a furry best friend is a normal part of life. Dog ownership and adoption have been on the rise for decades, and it’s mostly a great thing. However, a dog in the hands of bad owners or one that is caught up in a frightening situation can lash out, causing serious injury or even death.
Injuries Resulting from Dog Bites
Dog bites frequently cause injuries of varying degrees. Some of the injuries our dog bite law firm sees most frequently are:
- Puncture wounds
- Lacerations (cuts) and bruising
- Broken fingers, hands, and wrists
- Permanent scarring
- Infections
What to Do After a Dog Bite
- Seek Immediate Medical Attention: If the injuries are severe, call an ambulance or visit the ER. Even if the injury does not seem too serious, immediate care should be taken to prevent infection.
- Call the Police: To preserve evidence and secure a better chance of receiving compensation, you should call the San Antonio police department or animal control. Ask them to fill out an incident report and provide you with all information regarding your dog bite.
- Document, Document, Document: The first step in holding someone responsible for your injuries is finding out who is responsible. If you know who owned or had possession of the dog, get their contact information as well as a photo of their I.D. and insurance if they have it available. Take pictures of your injuries and keep any police, animal control, and medical records.
