Suffering a dog bite is a frightening experience, but it is important you follow a few steps after the incident occurs. First, seek medical attention, even if you do not think the injuries are serious. If the bite is serious, call 911 or have someone drive you to the emergency room. Next, you will need to identify the dog and its owner if this person is not already known to you. Make sure you take photos of your injuries and keep all paperwork for the doctor’s visit. Finally, you will want to report the bite in order to trigger an investigation and then contact a personal injury attorney who has worked with dog bit victims in the past.
