Dog bites can result in serious injuries. Even smaller dogs have teeth that are capable of breaking the skin and causing severe bleeding. Additionally, a dog’s mouth contains bacteria, and therefore, it is not uncommon for a bite to become infected. As a result, a person who experiences a dog attack may incur significant medical bills.In these cases, a plaintiff may be eligible to recover compensation for all past and future medical treatment. Additionally, claimants also should evaluate how the incident has affected their overall quality of life and ability to earn a living.
