An Overview Animal Attacks

Animal attacks can cause injuries, or worst, disturbance to one’s life. Aside from frequent dog attacks, other domestic animals and pets can cause injuries.

Examples include improperly confined large domestic animals, or livestock, that cause auto accidents after entering a roadway. They also include exotic animals that viciously attack a houseguest, pet birds with harmful claws, or slip-and-fall accidents that occur when an exotic pet surprises a guest with its sudden approach.

According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about 800,000 Americans seek medical attention after dog or animal bites each year, some of which are fatal. Aside from injuries, these attacks can also cause psychological trauma.

If bitten or injured by a dog, you can now file a complaint against the owner, since the law makes the owner liable for the full amount of damages.

Once bitten by a dog or attacked by another animal, seek medical attention right away. You need to know the depth of the wound and any possible illness you may suffer. If you have reported the incident to the police, make certain to retain a copy of the police report. Also, take note of the pet or animal owner, along with any possible witnesses. Be sure to save any clothing that has been damaged by the animal, and take photos of any property damage. This information will also support your case.
