  1. 3 TIPS TO GUARD AGAINST DOG BITE ACCIDENTS

  2. Dogs can be very lovable and friendly animals. However, they can also cause harm when they bite. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, about one in five people bitten by a dog will require medical attention, with children being the most common victims. Unfortunately, children are also more likely than adults to sustain major injuries. Dogs may bite for various reasons, including fear and territorial behavior. To prevent dog bites, teach children and family members to recognize warning signs, approach dogs properly, and avoid provoking them.

  6. Try Not to Panic Encountering an unleashed, approaching dog can be unnerving, especially if it's running towards you. Experts advise against running from the dog unless you're sure you can reach safety indoors. Instead, staying calm and standing still is safer. Use a firm, measured tone to command the dog to sit or stay without screaming or making direct eye contact. If with a child in a stroller, throw items to distract the dog and create an opportunity to move to safety. This approach helps manage the situation and reduce the risk of escalation or injury.

  7. Throw Food If you're prepared for encounters with unleashed dogs, carrying dog treats can be a wise precaution. In case of an attack, using treats to distract the dog allows for a safe retreat. Despite precautions, dog bites from negligence occur, necessitating compensation for medical bills.

They aim to secure rightful compensation for injuries sustained, managing negotiations and court representation while you focus on recovery.
