Dogs can be wonderful pets, but not all dogs are safe around people. When a dog lashes out, it can cause serious injuries. Some bites are disfiguring, and some are even fatal.

About 90 million dogs live as pets in the US, and most are loving and safe. Still, dogs injure millions of Americans each year.

The CDC estimates that dogs bites 4.5 million people annually. In 2008, about 316,000 people visited the ER after a bite, and about 9,500 needed extended hospitalization. Children, in particular, are vulnerable.

Common dog bite injuries include:

Broken bones
Lacerations
Puncture wounds
Nerve damage
Permanent scarring or deformity
Facial disfigurement
Bacterial infections
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Transmission of infectious disease, such as Rabies

Dog Owners Can Face Liability for Violent Dogs

You may have heard of the “one-bite rule.” However, this is not necessarily true.

New York dog owners are liable when the victim can show the owner knew or should have known the dog was dangerous. This is called dog owner negligence.

For example, eyewitness testimony can support a liability claim. Also, a skilled dog bite attorney can help prove liability by showing evidence of the dog’s violent behavior.
