Personal Injury:: Dog bites

There is no way of knowing how painful a dog bite is, until you experience one. The typical dog chomps down with about 350 pounds of pressure, that's four or five times the bite of a human. When you are attacked by a dog, there is a lot of mental anguish that goes along with it. You may never be able to trust another dog again. A lot of victims of dog attacks describe it as "the most painful and frightening experience they have gone through."

When I say "dog bites", I know you must be thinking of pit bulls or something large biting you. If you are bitten by a large dog our hearts go out to you, we know that's painful. But believe it or not, chances are, if you were bitten, it was by a little "yippy dog" no bigger than your calf. For some reason, these little dogs are very aggressive and they can bite you as you pass them on the street. Avoid them like they were a rabid dog and you'll be the better.

Almost every owner of these tiny dogs will tell you that "it's ok, they're a nice dog" or they will actually walk up to you with their dog, as you are walking your dog down the street, and say "can they meet, my dog is friendly". Then, a moment later their little dog has attacked your calm old Retriever, and you are tripped by the leash of the little beast, and there you go, down, down to the pavement. It happens all the time.

So if you are attacked by a little yippy dog, or bitten by another animal, you need to contact a personal injury lawyer to help with your situation.

One of my friends told me about this dog bite from 40 years ago:

"My son was playing football on skates in the street with his friends, when a neighbor's German Shepard jumped the fence, lept into the air, and tore his ear away from his head." This caused terrible trauma to the 10 year old, and even now, 40 years later, he has profound psychological injury. He is still very afraid of dogs. It's too bad this client did not have a personal injury lawyer at the time, they could have recovered damages for the attack.
