Dog bites are a national epidemic, says the Center for Disease Control. An estimated 4.7 million people are bitten by dogs every year. 800,000 of these dog bites require medical attention. The statistics are alarming: every seven seconds, someone suffers a dog bite.
The Law Offices of Larry H. Parker will help you protect your legal rights in the event of a dog bite. Should you or a loved one happen upon a stray or loose dog and suffer an injury, be sure to follow these simple guidelines. These steps can help you protect your rights when seeking recovery:
- Seek immediate medical attention
- Call the police and animal control
- Insist the police take a report
- Insist the dog be quarantined
- Have the dog examined for rabies
- Write down a description of the dog, especially if the dog cannot be located or captured

Dog bite injuries can be life changing, especially for children. The majority of dog bite victims in the United States are children, and children have a much higher dog bite injury risk for severe and catastrophic injuries to the head and neck. Be sure to teach your children about dog safety and dog bite prevention. Find more information on dog bite prevention at the CDC website.
