The Numbers

You probably are not surprised that more than 36 percent of households have a dog. You may even have one yourself.There are nearly 90 million dogs in the US. But did you know these statistics?

  • There are nearly 7 million dog bites each year in the US.
  • According to the CDC, nearly 1 in 5 people bitten by a dog require medical attention.
  • That means around 800,000 people a year are injured badly enough by a dog bite to see a doctor.

While many of these dog bites are minor, a bad attack can leave people with major injuries. We know that children and the elderly populations are especially at risk because they are not able to get away from the situation or defend themselves.

When a dog has made the decision to attack, it can be scary. They have very powerful jaws. Whether they are attacking out of fear or aggression does not matter in an attack. They can cause severe soft tissue damage, even tearing into muscles, veins, and arteries.

There are cases when a dog attack leaves people disfigured and needing plastic surgery to restore appearance and functionality to an area. This does not include the lasting pain and suffering people experience due to the trauma of an attack.

Dog Owners

Often, the cause of a dog attack can be because the dog’s owner was negligent in some way. If a dog owner chooses to ignore leash laws and allows their pet to roam freely, they should be held liable if an injury occurs.

They must also ensure that their dog is properly secured on their property so they cannot get out. If they do, they will roam unsupervised. Many attacks happen and the dog owner had no idea they were even away from the property.
