There is no doubt that in America we love our dogs. We even call them “man’s best friend.” In fact, according to statistics, there are roughly 75 million of them in this country. We buy them everything from gourmet doggy biscuits to frilly collars and clothing, and everything in between. But did you know that man’s best friend bites back to the tune of around 4.5 million bites per year, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention?

Out of those millions of dog bites each year, around 31,000 of them require reconstructive surgery, and one out of every five requires some sort of medical attention. Each day across the country, over 1,000 people enter hospital emergency rooms as a result of a dog bite and, in 2007 alone, 33 of those people died as a result of their injuries.

The costs associated with dog bites are estimated to have a $1 billion yearly impact because of all the insurance and hospital bills and time lost from working. While it is easy to see the economic impact of these bites, it is not so clear what the solution is for the victim who may have a stack of bills and are not sure who to give them to.

Determining who should pay for medical care when a dog bite takes place is certainly confusing. What if you are bitten on your property by someone else’s dog? What if you are invited into someone’s house and their dog bites you there? There are even the issues of what happens if you are bitten by a stray dog, or by a police dog, when you weren’t even the perpetrator they were after.

If you find yourself, or someone you know, with medical expenses from a dog bite, but are not sure who is the responsible party, the best place to start is to consult a California personal injury attorney. Trying to figure it out on your own can leave you with headaches, in addition to a pile of medical bills.

Keep in mind that, even if you are someone who feels they have no reason ever to seek help for a dog bite or to speak with a California personal injury attorney, you never know when that may change. Statistics show that, 77 percent of the time, it is a friend or family member’s dog, so even though you think that the dogs you are seeing are friendly, you never know what can happen.

A California personal injury attorney will quickly be able to tell you who is responsible and, if action is warranted, to make sure you are compensated for your personal injury. Most of them offer a free consultation to hear the details of your case, so there is nothing to lose.
