A dog bite or dog attack can be a horrifying and painful event and can result in serious and even life-threatening injuries. The attack can cause intense physical and emotional pain. Injuries often occur on the face or head, especially when the victim is a child, and lifelong scarring can occur.

What You Should Do if You Encounter a Dangerous or Menacing Dog
Report all dogs roaming at large. If you see any animal acting strangely or menacingly, report the incident. The attack you prevent may be one toward you or a loved one.
If a dog attack occurs, seek medical attention immediately. If possible, identify the owner of the dog and where the dog is housed. Medical personnel will need to know what shots the animal has had to determine if it presents a risk of rabies or other canine diseases. Call police and animal control as soon as possible.
Do not talk about the event with the owner of the dog or any insurance company representative. Contact David P. Beeson & Associates as soon as possible to preserve all of your rights.
Obtain witness statements, photographs of the scene and any other evidence to maximize the possibility of recovery.
