Dog Bites Can Cause Severe Injuries
While not all dog bites lead to severe injuries, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that around 800,000 to 900,000 dog bite injury victims require medical assistance each year. Dogs have very powerful jaws that can inflict significant damage to the human body. At White Law PLLC, we regularly help clients who have sustained the following injuries in dog bite incidents:
- Significant soft tissue damage, including lacerations and puncture wounds
- Severed muscles, tendons, ligaments, veins, and arteries
- Amputations of the fingers
Dog bite injury victims can also incur significant scarring and disfigurement as a result of their injuries that can lead to a loss of mobility and a loss of personal enjoyment.
Michigan operates under a “strict liability” dog bite statute. This means that a dog owner can be held liable for damages inflicted by their pet’s bite regardless of whether or not the dog has ever shown aggression before or has a history of biting incidents.
We know how to get our clients the results they need in the toughest legal arenas.
