Every year in the United States there are more than 4 million dog bites, 1 million of which require medical treatment. In more than half of all dog bite incidents the victims are children under the age of 12, and additionally, nearly 80% of all fatalities that occur from complications due to dog bites are children. It's important to help children understand some safety precautions regarding dogs and also breeds of dogs that are considered the most dangerous including:
- Akita
- Alaskan Malamute
- Doberman Pinscher
- German Shepherd
- Husky
- Pit Bull
- Rottweiler
In the state of New York we have a "one bite rule" in which a dog which has never bit is allowed one mistake. Once it has been determined who is liable for the actions of the dog, a claim can be made to recover damages for the injury. Having the experienced, knowledgeable legal assistance necessary to bring about the best possible results for your claim is vital.
