Seattle Dog Bite Attacks

Whenever a dog attacks a person such as a vulnerable small child or elder, the effects can be catastrophic. Not only can a person suffer severe injury or death from a dog bite attack, but disability or severe disfigurement can also be suffered, leading to a severely altered and burdened life physically, emotionally and financially. An involuntary fear of all dogs after a dog bite attack, coupled with the high risk of infection, scarring and severely bodily damage can all serve to permanently cripple a person in many severe cases.

Dog bite attacks are extremely serious, and the owners of these animals should be held liable for the injuries that a victim sustains. If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in a dog bite attack you should contact a Seattle lawyer immediately following medical treatment so that you can begin to build a case against the negligent dog owner.

All domestic dogs are descended from predatory grey wolves, giving them extremely powerful canine jaws and genetic predatory instincts. A dog's jaw can exert more than 500 pounds of pressure in some cases, which is enough to seriously tear or injure any human body part the pressure is applied to. This can lead to devastating injuries if a dog reacts to what it believes is a danger, even if the belief is unfounded, and the dog has no previous history of violence or aggression.
