Dog Bite Case Secrets

Every year about 4.7 billion dog bites occur. Over 8,000 of them require urgent medical attention. The American Humane Society has determined that these dog bites cost insurance companies more than $1 billion every year. This is because most people who got bitten have filed personal injury claims and were reimbursed financially for their pain and suffering.

The most common financial settlements of such cases cover:

• Medical expenses
• lost income or lost potential job opportunities
• scarring
• Pain and suffering

Of course, each case is individual, so some additional case-related expenses may also need to be covered by an insurance company.

Dogs have their favorite spots when it comes to biting people and these are: arms, hands, legs, and feet. Head and body bites are less “popular”.

82% of all dog bites treated in an emergency room involve children who are under 15 years old. Approximately 50% of these dog bites involve children under the age of 12. 65% of the dog bite injuries to children were in the neck and head areas.

If you have been bitten by a dog and need medical help you better get it immediately after the accident. If you manage to win a dog bite case settlement afterwards the amount will cover your bills. In order to be able to receive a monetary reimbursement you need to prove that someone else was at fault for the accident.
