Dogs are supposed to be “man’s best friend” and when properly trained, can be wonderful companions and pets.  But in the wrong hands, a dog can turn vicious and attack others, even complete strangers. If you’ve been bitten or mauled by a dog, you’ve experienced physical pain – but also terror and emotional trauma.

In the wake of a dog attack, you may be faced with medical and cosmetic treatments for your wounds, as well as counseling and therapy. These all cost money. Dog owners are responsible for controlling their pets and avoiding harm to others, so they can be held responsible if their dog attacks.
