An attack by a dog or other vicious animal can be a terrifying experience and can cause severe injuries and permanent scars – both physical and psychological. These attacks happen all too often. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), dogs bite about 4.5 million Americans each year, sending nearly 900,000 of them to emergency rooms. Children are particularly susceptible. According to the CDC, dog bite injuries to children are second only to injuries occurring on playgrounds. If you or your child has been attacked or bitten by a dog or other dangerous animal, don’t assume that everything will be okay. Dog bites or attacks by vicious animals can cause long-term medical damage and emotional trauma.
New York law provides that dog owners, and owners of other animals that attack people, may be held responsible for the harm they cause. The Fromen Firm represents those injured by dangerous dogs and other animals who seek compensation for their injuries and accountability for those who could have prevented the attack but did not.
