Many children receive serious injuries as a result of vicious dog attacks.
However, many other injuries are caused when a child is simply playing with or trying to get away from the dog. Because of the child's size, many of the dog bites occur to the child's face which can cause scarring and permanent disfigurement. If your child has been bitten by a dog, it is advisable to get proper medication to prevent any infection. The police department and Humane society should be notified so that they can quarantine the dog and make sure that it has been properly vaccinated. You should also contact an attorney to determine your child's rights to receive compensation for the dog-related injury case.
