Dog Bites
Cleveland Dog Bite Attorney
Dogs may be “man’s best friend,” but they are still animals with the instinct to bite in certain situations. It is not a matter of breed, age, size, or gender – any dog can bite, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA). Dog bites can cause serious injuries that may require reconstructive surgery. When that’s the case, a dog bite lawyer can help you seek compensation to cover the cost of medical expenses.

HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE BITTEN BY DOGS EACH YEAR?
AVMA states that dog bites are a serious health risk. More than 4.5 million people are bitten every year in the U.S., and at least half of them are children. Every year, over 800,000 dog bite victims receive medical treatment for their injuries. Homeowners insurance companies paid $882 million for dog bite claims in 2021, as reported by the Insurance Information Institute (III).
