Dog Bite Injury Statistics

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, over 800,000 Americans are bitten by dogs yearly, necessitating medical attention. Children account for a disproportionate share of the bitten victims.

Compared to the other US states, California had the highest number of fatal dog bites in 2019. According to estimates, 15 children and 21 adults were murdered by dogs in 2018.

The laws regulating dog attacks vary widely between states. When considering instances involving dog attacks, juries in California must follow the procedures outlined in Section 3342 of the Criminal Code. If a dog causes damage in a public or private area where dogs are allowed, the owner will be held financially responsible.

What to Do After a Dog Attack

Dog attacks can be chaotic and violent, typically including multiple dogs assaulting the victim. If the victim survives the attack, the victim will most likely suffer wounds such as puncture wounds, scratches, or crush injuries. Dog bite victims may need rabies vaccines or other preventative measures if the dog was not up-to-date on its vaccinations. Dog bites often result in puncture wounds, which can be excruciatingly painful and take weeks to heal.
