About Dog Attack Injuries
Chances are you may be attacked by a dog when you least expect it. Maybe your friend’s dog Skip wasn’t that friendly, or maybe the neighbor’s dog just didn’t like the fact you went to check the mail that morning. Whatever happened in your case, you probably didn’t expect to be attacked by a dog.
One important thing to remember is that you should never approach a dog and try to pet it without letting the dog sniff you first. Also, be careful of dogs that are tied up. There are many ways you can avoid a dog attack, but you may not have known these tactics at the time. Your natural instinct may have been to run away from the dog. Well, a dog’s natural instinct is to chase things that are running, so this is something you should not do if at all possible.
If you were attacked by a dog you may be able to file a personal injury claim against the dog’s owner. What might happen though is that the owner will fight back and try to prove that you somehow provoked the dog and instigated the attack. In order to avoid any liability being shifted onto you, you should obtain the help of a Woodstock injury attorney from our firm. If the owner is trying to blame you for not properly avoiding the attack, don’t be intimidated. By having a skilled lawyer evaluate your claim, you will be able to obtain the compensation you deserve.
