Common Injuries from Dog Attacks
Dog attacks often result in:
- Deep lacerations or puncture wounds
- Broken bones or crushed tissue
- Eye and facial injuries
- Nerve damage
- Dangerous infections
- Permanent scarring or disfigurement
- Psychological trauma, especially in children
Children are especially vulnerable due to their small size and natural curiosity. Dog attacks on young children frequently involve bites to the head, face, and neck—areas that can cause life-altering harm.
Who’s Liable for a Dog Bite?
In many states, including Florida and Pennsylvania, dog owners may be strictly liable for injuries caused by their dogs—meaning the victim does not need to prove the owner was negligent.
Even if the dog never showed prior signs of aggression, the owner may still be held accountable if:
- The bite occurred in a public place, or
- The bite occurred while the victim was lawfully on private property (such as a guest, delivery person, or utility worker)
Comparative negligence may be raised as a defense if the victim provoked the dog or knowingly put themselves at risk, but the burden of proof is on the dog owner.
