A person injured by a dog can take steps to protect themselves and preserve their legal rights in a dog bite case. Some of these include: seek medical attention and maintain records of all treatment received; report the bite to local authorities; if the dog or the owner cannot be located, consult with a physician about obtaining a rabies vaccination; photograph all injuries and preserve any video of the attack.
Additionally, a hardworking lawyer could investigate a case, obtain statements from any witnesses to the incident, and present the claim to the dog’s owner, insurance company, or Kenosha court.
