Common Injuries from Dog Attacks

Dog attacks often cause more than surface wounds. Some injuries can have lifelong effects. Understanding the possible harm is important for both medical care and legal claims.

Examples of Injuries

• Puncture wounds
• Infections and rabies risk
• Nerve damage
• Scarring or disfigurement
• Broken bones from being knocked down
• PTSD or anxiety

Even minor-looking bites can become serious if untreated. Document injuries with photos and seek legal advice if negligence is involved.
