Scarring due to dog bites, dog attacks
Scars caused by dog bites can be very complicated legal cases for both adult and children. Children, because of their size, are particularly susceptible to bites around the head and face. Scarring injuries not only cause physical problems, but can also cause emotional injuries, such as trauma and fear. Parents need to make decisions involving additional medical procedures such as reconstructive or plastic surgery.
Scars resulting from a dog bite can be traumatizing for children and adults:
- Young children may face a lifetime of living with scars.
- Young children may face ridicule from other children.
- Adults may face obstacles in employment opportunities.
- Adults & children alike may face future painful surgeries.
- Adults & children alike may face emotional trauma associated with scarring.
The medical expenses associated with a dog bite can be extremely costly, especially in the event of a scarring injury. Scars can be a serious, life-long result of a dog bite.
Our Law Firm can advise you on how much time should pass before a claim is settled. This time factor may vary based on the child's age, the severity of the scar, the number of surgeries that may be needed and expert medical advise from plastic surgeons and other physicians.
