Dogs may be man’s best friend, but that doesn’t mean every dog is your best friend, or that accidents or dog bites never happen.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that as many as 4.5 million dog bites occur in America each year. Dog bites are common, and each bite is different. But whether a bite is “no big deal” or potentially life-changing depends on the dog, its health, your health, the location of the bite, whether the dog was leashed, and other factors.
Your reaction to a dog bite can range from avoiding the house where the dog lives to contracting an infection or a disease that affects your ability to function at home and at work. Though you might never feel at ease around dogs again, a financial settlement can go a long way toward putting the dog bite behind you.
