Dog Bite or Animal Inflicted Injury

A dog bite or other animal inflicted injuries can leave traumatizing physical and emotional scars. Animal inflicted wounds often require expensive surgeries, leaving physical and financial reminders of the attack.

Common Injuries Resulting from Animal Attacks

  • Puncture/Bite wounds
  • Laceration
  • Severe Bruising/hematomas

  • Broken or Fractured Bones
