Common Injuries Sustained from Dog Bites or Dog Attacks

Aggressive and vicious dogs that attack humans can cause many different types of injuries. Normally, dog attack deaths involve dogs with known propensities to be vicious, such as Pit Bulls, Rottweiler's and Chows. These types of dogs are strong and can cause horrendous injuries. At the Anderson Law Firm, we have seen all types of injuries here in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex as a result of dangerous dogs.

Clearly, the most tragic is the uncommon, but very possible, deaths that arise from an attack. The most common injuries from dog attacks involve bites which can cause unsightly scarring. These bites can also result in serious tendon tears and ligament damage. At the Anderson Law Firm, we have seen injuries and scarring on all parts of the body, from scars across the face to the ankle.

Sometimes dog attacks never even result in a bite, but cause serious injuries nonetheless. This can occur when the dog jumps on a person, knocking them down and injuring them. At the Anderson Law Firm, we have seen such attacks cause knee and back injuries from the twisting and impact from the fall.

We have also seen dogs attack other dogs, with humans injured as a direct consequence of the attack. We have seen leashes wrap around legs (causing scarring) and other similar injuries.
