What Happens After a Dog Bites Someone in Pennsylvania?
If you or a loved one have been injured from a dog bite, the first priority is the victims immediate safety and recovery from their injury. If you seek to recover financial compensation following your accident, an attorney can help you understand your opportunities for recovery.
The skilled Pottstown dog bite attorneys at Mayerson Injury Law, P.C. are well versed in Pennsylvania's laws regulating dog ownership and can help you understand your rights and help you on your journey to recovery.
Understanding Pennsylvania's Dangerous Dog Laws
By law, dog owners and keepers in Pennsylvania are required to have reasonable control over their pets at all times. Additionally, the law calls for owners to confine their dogs to their premises and restrain the canines by collar or chain. If we can prove that your bite or attack was the result of an owner's inability to adhere to these rules, a claim can be filed for compensation.
What Is Considered a “Dangerous Dog”?
A “dangerous dog” is:
- Any dog that has inflicted serious injury on another person without being provoked to attack
- Any dog that has a history of attacking people and / or domestic animals unprovoked; or any dog that demonstrates the tendency to do so
- Any dog that has killed or inflicted serious injury on another domestic animal without being provoked and while off the owner's property
- Any dog that has been used in the commission of a crime
Mayerson Injury Law, P.C. can thoroughly review the details of your bite or attack to determine if you have enough evidence to take legal action. Contact us today to get started.
What Are the Most Common Injuries from Dog Bites & Animal Attacks?
Dog bites can cause a wide variety of injuries that vary in severity based on the size of the dog and the duration of the attack. Some dog bites can cause permanent scarring or tissue damage, as well as carry a high risk of infection.
Common dog bite injuries include:
- Puncture wounds
- Nerve damage
- Broken bones
- Eye injuries
- Head and neck injuries
- Face injuries
- Scars
- Emotional distress
The physical injuries that result from a dog attack are only part of the overall harm that a victim suffers. Like any other high-stress experience, a severe dog bite can sometimes cause victims to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) which causes them to constantly relive the incident for months or even years after the attack.
