According to national statistics, approximately 4.7 million Americans fall victim to dog bites every year. About 800,000 of these victims seek medical attention for their injuries, but many cases go unreported to the authorities (law enforcement or animal control agencies). Unfortunately, children are often the victims of dog attacks and because of their small size often sustain injury to the face. Additionally, men are more likely to be bitten than women. Dog attacks are usually brought about by the owner's negligence or abuse in handling or training the animal. An owner may try to domesticate an animal which is naturally wild or aggressive in nature. An owner may fail to restrain an animal or have a dog on a leash in a public place, where an attack could occur.
Missouri is not a "one bite free" state. This means that even when a dog had no previous history of violence, or if the owner had no knowledge of their dog's violent nature, the owner may still be held liable if their dog attacks and injures a person. If you or a loved one has been injured by a dog bite, contact a St. Louis dog bite lawyer at Schultz Legal Group. We will use our years of experience and knowledge of Missouri injury law in order to prove the liability of the dog owner and help you get the compensation you deserve.
