Dog bites can cause serious physical harm, including deep lacerations, nerve damage, and severe permanent scarring, especially when the victim is a child. Beyond the physical pain, victims often suffer lasting emotional trauma, including fear, anxiety, and PTSD.
Many states hold dog owners strictly liable for injuries their pets cause, but securing fair compensation still requires skilled legal advocacy. Carter Mario Injury Lawyers will aggressively pursue the dog owner and their insurance company to cover all your medical bills and trauma.
The Immediate and Lasting Impact of Dog Bites
- The need for emergency room visits, stitches, and plastic surgery for facial or visible injuries.
- Risk of serious infections, including rabies, tetanus, or bacterial infections.
- Permanent nerve damage and loss of function in the affected limb.
- Psychological trauma, including anxiety, nightmares, and fear of dogs.
- Disfigurement and emotional distress due to permanent scarring.
Protecting Your Rights and Securing Your Recovery
