There are specific dog breeds that are naturally more aggressive than others and require specific training to ensure they are not a danger to the public. Unfortunately, there are many dog owners that refuse to train their dogs or purposely train their dogs to be more aggressive for protection purposes. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) had reported over 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs every year in the U.S. When someone is injured due to the negligent actions of another, this gives rise to the ability to file a claim against the other person. If we are able to prove the negligence of another, we will then be able to obtain a fair and just compensation for our injured client.

Most Common Causes of Dog Attacks/ Bites:

+Possessiveness: Dogs are very territorial and it is possible that they will attack if they believe their food, toys, and puppies are going to be taken away. Dogs can also be territorial over other dogs and owners.
+ Provocation: Teasing a dog and provoking them in anyway can cause them to attack.
