Dog Bite Attorney in The Bronx

Dog bite incidents happen due to different reasons, including the negligence of dog owners, handlers, and other parties. When owners fail to properly train, restrain, or supervise their dogs, these animals could end up hurting humans or even other pets. 

Negligence can also mean:

• leaving a dog unsupervised
• not using a leash when required; or
• failing to warn others about the dog's aggressive tendencies. 

These actions put others at risk and can lead to serious injuries and sometimes even death.

Speaking of injuries, some can have long-lasting effects on your health and well-being. They include: 

• Puncture wounds that may become infected if proper care is not provided.
• Lacerations that can lead to significant scarring or even disfigurement. 
• Nerve damage that affects mobility, potentially leading to disability, either permanent or temporary. 
• Broken bones from the force of the bite.
• Emotional trauma and anxiety around dogs.

These injuries can be severe and often require extensive medical treatment and emotional support.

In a dog bite incident, you may be able to hold multiple parties for the injuries sustained. It's important to identify these parties in order to build a strong case. Examples of potentially liable parties include: 

• Dog owners who failed to control their pets.
• Property owners who allowed dangerous dogs on their premises.
• Animal caretakers who were negligent in their duties.
• Landlords who permitted tenants to keep aggressive dogs.
