The Most Common Injuries Associated With Dog Bites

Most people do not realize that victims of aggressive canines can still suffer severe injuries even if the dog does not bite. For instance, victims can run into objects or fall while being chased by fierce canines. While victims of dog attacks tend to suffer lacerations on their hands and legs, other injuries often include:

1. Massive contusions;
2. Damaged tendons, ligaments, nerves, and muscles;
3. Fractured bones;
4. Deep puncture wounds to the head and face;
5. Amputation of limbs;
6. Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) from getting thrown to the ground;
7. Different viral infections, such as methicillin-resistant staphylococcus (MRSA), tetanus, and norovirus;
8. Various bacterial infections, such as Pasteurella, Capnocytophaga, and tetanus, can be transferred from the dog’s saliva;
9. Devastating scarring and permanent disfigurements; and
10. Wrongful Death, approximately 1 in 112,400 dog attacks results in fatal injuries.

When To Seek Emergency Medical Treatment For A Dog Bite

Being bitten or attacked by an aggressive dog can be extremely painful and scary. Whether you suffered minor scrapes or severe puncture wounds, you are probably feeling completely overwhelmed. Not to mention, if the canine’s teeth penetrate your skin, viral and bacterial infections from the dog’s mouth can easily enter your bloodstream. Around half of all dog bites expose victims to bacteria and other infecting agents. Without treatment, bite-related infections like rabies and sepsis can be lethal. Therefore, it is always better to err on the safe side and protect yourself against infection. The Dietrich Law Firm P.C.’s seasoned lawyers recommend seeking emergency medical treatment at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center or another local hospital in the following situations:

1. You are running a high fever;
2. Your gashes are extremely painful;
3. You experience signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or inflammation;
4. Your wounds feel warm to the touch;
5. After 15 minutes of applying pressure, a cut is still bleeding;
6. The dog’s teeth broke your skin, and you have not gotten a tetanus shot within the past 5 years;
7. You were attacked by a stray dog or cannot obtain the animal’s immunization records; or
8. You have a weakened immune system due to an illness or medical treatment.
