Common Causes of Dog Attacks
Dog attacks often have something to do with the dog’s environment and experiences. Some common causes include:
- Poor training or lack of socialization
- Neglect or abuse
- Provocation or teasing
- Fear or anxiety
- Protecting territory or owners
- Pain or illness
- Sudden movements or loud noises
It’s also important to remember that even well-behaved dogs can bite under certain circumstances. When they bite and cause serious injuries or even death, especially because of someone else’s negligence, the victims are usually entitled to some form of compensation.
Common Dog Bite Injuries
Many of the dog bite cases we’ve seen and even handled in the past involve serious injuries, including but not limited to:
- Gaping wounds
- Lacerations
- Infections
- Nerve damage
- Scarring
- Disfigurement
- Broken bones
- Emotional trauma
These injuries often require immediate medical attention to prevent complications and ensure proper healing. Keep in mind that the average of cost of dog bite treatment in America is $30,000. You shouldn’t pay any of these fees out of pocket if someone else was responsible for the attack.
Who Can Be Responsible for a Dog Attack Incident?
The dog owner is usually the first party to be considered liable. In Florida, strict liability laws mean the owner is responsible even if the dog had no prior history of aggression. However, it’s also worth mentioning that liability can extend beyond the owner.
Other potentially liable parties include:
- Dog sitter
- Dog walker
- Dog boarding facility
- Property owners
- Landlords
- Animal control agencies
The bottom line here is that each case is unique. That’s why we strongly recommend getting a free case evaluation by a dog bite expert at Morgan and Morgan.
