Bad dogs aren’t the only ones who bite
There are good and bad dogs in every breed known to man. Some bad dogs are mean dogs too. But not all dog attack injuries; are caused by vicious dogs. Some dog attack injuries are caused by everyday family pets that have never treated anyone before. You should always be careful around any dog.
Some dog attack injuries are worse than others, depending on the size and sometimes even the breed of the dog. A bite from a tiny chihuahua, for example, would appear to be less severe than if the dog was a large German Shepherd or a Rottweiler, Pitter, or other large dog breed known to be aggressive.
Most often, in a case involving injuries from a vicious dog, you will be dealing directly with the pet’s homeowner’s insurance company. Most often, these situations are settled out of court. However, sometimes this is not possible, perhaps because the two parties cannot reach an agreement, or perhaps because the owner does not have insurance. In such a case, you will have to go to court to determine the outcome of the case.
In most, if not all dog bite attack cases, several key factors are weighed before a decision is made to resolve a case that has gone to court to be heard before a judge. The judge will want to know where the incident occurred, whether the dog was secured on its own property or was running free in its community off its owners’ property. The judge will also be interested in whether there have been any incidents with this particular dog prior to this incident or if this is an isolated incident. The judge may consider giving the dog owner a warning with specific instructions that the dog should not be let out unless it is on a leash under the owner’s care at all times to prevent a similar incident from happening again in the future.
A dog may bite if it is trying to protect its family. A dog’s intentions may seem reasonable to its owners, but a judge may see the circumstances differently after weighing the facts of the situation. The dog may also bite if it is feeding its young or eating and feels that someone is going to take away their food. Unfortunately, this is all too often the situation where accidental bites sometimes occur.
Always seek medical attention after a dog bite. Some bites may be more severe than they first appear. After seeing the doctor, consider getting a dog bite attorney. You will need to get the advice and counsel of a qualified dog bite attack attorney to see if you really should proceed with filing a lawsuit against the owner.
