Aggressive dogs bite over 500,000 people a year. A majority of which are children. On average, twelve die from their injuries. The vast majority of the owners of dogs who injure people claim that their dogs did not exhibit aggressive behavior prior to their attack.

If a dog bites you seek immediate medical attention regarding cleaning the wound and testing for various injuries specifically related to animal bites such as rabies. Report the incident to the local animal control. Usually, if animal control is able to locate the dog, they can determine its status on rabies vaccination and whether it has a history of past attacks. In addition, they may be able to prevent it from doing so again.

Statutes of limitation may apply and can vary by state, so it is best to talk with a qualified attorney soon after an injury to determine if you have a valid claim.
