Dog Bite Injuries

Kansas dog owners have a responsibility to keep their pets restrained or on a leash, especially when their dogs are around other people. This responsibility also means that negligent pet owners can be held accountable if their dogs bite.

Dogs are an everyday part of life, but they are not always man’s best friend. A dog bite attack can be a traumatic experience, especially for children and may cause severe and long-lasting injuries. A dog bite victim who is disfigured may have a substantial claim for loss due to serious physical, emotional and mental trauma sustained from a negligent dog owner.

Types of Dog Bite Injuries

Dog bites or attacks often cause a variety of severe injuries to victims. Some injuries include:

  • Puncture Wounds
  • Tissue and Muscle Damage
  • Physical Scarring
  • Psychological Turmoil
  • Permanent Disfigurement

If you or a loved one is the victim of a dog bite you should seek immediate medical assistance and contact an experienced Kansas dog bite lawyer without delay.
