Accident Attorney

There are approximately 52 million dogs living in the United States today, and a surprising number of them can pose serious threats to innocent adults and children. In fact, during the past ten years, several studies claim that there’s been a 30 per cent increase in reports of dog bite attacks, despite only a negligible increase in the total dog population. Today, some estimates claim that 13000 dog bites occur daily, and that more than $100 million in medical expenses result annually. Part of the reason for the recent surge in dog attacks is no doubt because “attack” dogs — Pit Bulls, Canary Dogs, Rottweilers, Bulldogs, German Shepherds, Siberian Huskies, and Alaskan Malamutes — have become a popular choice of pets for many Americans. When properly trained and raised in homes prepared for their needs, these dogs can be as friendly and obedient as any other breed of dogs. The problem is that many owners get these types of dogs for all the wrong reasons.
