The most common cause of dog bites is negligence by the owner. Neglect and mistreatment can lead to dogs becoming a real threat to others. Dog bite cases require specialized knowledge and sadly most victims are children. Sometimes the owner does not know the dog is dangerous or knows that the dog is dangerous but does not do anything about it. Dog bites can range from small punctures, scrapes and bruising to serious deformity or even death.

Dog Bites
Experienced Denton dog bite attorney
The most important thing to do after a dog bite is to record the event. Immediately contact the police and animal control to create a report. If you are seriously injured call 911 for emergency assistance. Most dog owners will be reluctant to cooperate because they know that the dog may be euthanized.
