Dogs don’t pose a threat to most people and in most situations. But even the most well-trained and friendly dogs can bite under certain circumstances—and sometimes, those bites occur without warning or a history of aggressive behavior. If you were bitten by a dog, whether it was a dog owned by a stranger or someone you know, you may be hesitant to escalate the issue. However, dog bites aren’t just extremely painful, they can be disabling and even life-threatening. Dogs have long, sharp teeth that are capable of causing deep wounds that can result in profuse bleeding. They can also damage nerves and tendons, making it difficult for victims to move their arms, hands, fingers, and other affected body parts. The costs associated with dog bite injuries can be enormous. Victims may require hospitalization to monitor their bites for infection and other complications, and they may even need surgery to clean wounds and remove bacteria or to repair nerve damage. In addition, dog bites can make it difficult or impossible to work, leaving victims without the paychecks they and their loved ones depend on every week.
