Why California Leads The Way In Dog Bites?

Why California Leads The Way In Dog Bites?

You may have missed it, but the week of April 7 through the 13 was National Dog Bite Prevention Week. They know, you may be thinking, “Why do we need a week for that?�

At the Law Offices of Howard Craig Kornberg, attorneys know that dog bites are much more common than most people realize. In fact, they account for an astonishing amount of insurance claims each year.

WHAT THE STUDIES SHOW They are learning that a study by the Insurance Information Institute and State Farm shows that most of the dog bite claims in the United States come from California.

However, it is important to remember that dogs have very powerful jaws that can inict serious damage to a person’s:

Muscles and Ligaments

Soft Tissue

Veins and Arteries

While children and the elderly are the most at risk due to their vulnerability, anyone can suer from a dog bite injury. In the aftermath of a dog bite, it is not uncommon for a victim to need extensive medical care. This can include emergency surgery as well as plastic surgery that may be necessary to restore a person’s function and appearance.

Around 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs each year in the United States

The CDC says that nearly 1 in 5 people bitten requires medical attention

HOW THIS HAPPENS In many cases, these injuries occur due to the negligent actions of a dog’s owner, including: ❖ Improperly securing a dog behind a fence, in a kennel, or failing to close a house door ❖ Allowing a dog to wander off of its leash despite municipal leash laws ❖ Allowing a dog that is known to be aggressive to be around other people and pets
