Animal Attack
Animal attack in the United States often involves dogs. Some rare cases involve bears, monkeys, lions and snakes, particularly in the outskirts of the city or in the countryside. The most common occurrence and recorded the highest number of incidents of attack are made by dogs.
Animal attack is prevalent in different communities and cities in California. Statistics shows that there are nearly 4.5 million reported dog bites in the US today. Out of that figure, 800,000 were reportedly to have sought medical attention and a whopping $165 million were spent. An estimated 20 persons die every year due to these attacks.
Some were even left unreported.
Study shows that dogs that possess more tendencies to attack humans are, but not limited to, the following:
• Pitbulls
• Rotweillers
• German shepherd
• Doberman
More often than not, these breeds attack ferociously and often left the victim with severe facial and head injuries. They may even cause death. Most of the fatalities were children.
The law generally held negligent animal owners liable for the injury or death caused by their pets. The victims may recover from the animal owner by filing a suit against the latter.
Cases are filed for animal attack because of the negligence of the owners or possessors thereof. The California law provides that animal owners are responsible for their pets’ misbehavior such as attacking and injuring other animals or human being.
Victims of these attacks must immediately seek medical assistance. If none is right away available, perform first aid. And for legal assistance for possible filing of claims against the animal owner, consult with our Los Angeles Personal Injury Lawyers.
