Call (800) 863-5312 to Speak with a Tucson Dog Bite Lawyer for Free Dog bites can have devastating consequences, often leaving victims with scarring, nerve damage, and other injuries that require extensive medical treatment. These kinds of attacks not only harm an individual physically but can cause severe financial and psychological damages for years to …
The most important thing to do after a dog bite is to seek medical treatment right away. Too many bite victims think their injuries are not severe, when in reality, such injuries can result in rabies, become infected, or cause unsightly scarring that may have otherwise been prevented. Infections resulting from animal bites can be deadly, so it is important to treat any injuries you have as soon as possible. It is also crucial to have a medical professional create an official record that could be beneficial to you later.
Even if you want to merely brush the incident off, both the victim of a dog bite and the dog’s owner are required by Arizona law to report the incident to a county enforcement officer as soon as possible. Any animal bite can be reported to the Pima Animal Care Center at (520) 724-5900 to meet this requirement. The officers responding to calls are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays.
It is better to report the bite sooner rather than later, in order to initiate the investigation as soon as possible and to preserve your rights. Be prepared to describe the dog that did the biting in as much detail as possible when making the report. For example, take note of the breed of the dog, its coat color, any unusual markings, and its approximate size.
A dog owner may have a valid defense if someone tried to provoke their dog, and that is what led to the biting. Regardless of if this actually happened or not, the owner might allege that you provoked the dog before he or she bit you. Therefore, it will be useful if you can speak to a witness who saw the events. Make sure to write down his or her contact information in the likely event that you will need to speak to him or her again.
Finally, make sure to seek out a dog bite attorney in order to assess and file your claim. An experienced dog bite attorney can help you compile evidence, talk to witnesses, and get the most out of your dog bite claim. If you have been injured, you may be entitled to monetary compensation for medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, and more.
