The Dangers of Dog Bites

A dog bite is an unexpected and traumatic experience for any person to go through. Anyone who has been bitten by a dog may experience post traumatic stress disorder, emotional problems, fear of dogs, and be forced to undergo physical rehabilitation and reconstructive surgery.

Over 43,000 facial injuries a year are the result of dog attacks – many of which necessitate medical attention. If the dog has a disease such as rabies, then you run a high risk of suffering from it, as well.

New Jersey Dog Bite Law

There is not one specific breed of dog that is the most dangerous; any type of dog is capable of attacking a human. Even the dog of a family member or friend may attack a familiar face. It is the responsibility of the dog owner to be in charge of his or her animal at all times. This includes having the control to prevent an attack. New Jersey law holds all dog owners responsible for any damage their animals cause to others, even if the canine had never before exhibited dangerous behavior.
