Your Dog Attack Lawyer Knows Every Dog Bite Is
Different.

Right Attorney - Cleveland, Ohio
Because dogs are predators by nature, they almost
always attack with their teeth, but because of the size and breed or
the dog, location of the attack, every bite is different.
The teeth and jaws of a dog can be very strong, exerting
up to 450 pounds of pressure per square inch. That’s more than ten times the
pressure that a human hand can apply. That overwhelming force and the
rounded teeth of the dog create a crush wound, one of the most common and
potentially grave wounds caused by a dog bite. The dog literally crushes the
flesh, bones, nerves and tendons of the victim, causing deep and serious
injuries including broken bones and permanent nerve and muscle damage.
Because younger victims are more likely to sustain dog-bite wounds to the
vital and sensitive areas of their heads and necks, a crush wound can be a
matter of life and death to children who are attacked by dogs. A study by
the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission cites an anecdote about a girl
of 18 months who had her skull and jawbone broken and her ear and cheek
ripped away by the family dog. A dog can also cause a crush wound without
breaking the skin; the soft tissues and bones gripped in the dog’s powerful
jaws may still be torn and broken. In fact, those injuries are often more
serious and painful than the flesh wounds opened by an attacking dog’s
teeth.

However, a puncture, cut or abrasion to the skin,
which represent the majority of dog attack wounds, is not to be
dismissed. When dogs have “locked on” to the victim, they often turn
their heads violently, literally tearing flesh away. In this way,
victims can lose large chunks of flesh, even entire limbs, and large
amounts of blood. These can be life-threatening and life-changing
injuries. Cuts and abrasions can also lead to permanent scarring,
which follows victims for the rest of their lives and may affect
their social lives, employment prospects and mental health. Wounds
that temporarily or permanently limit the victims’ mobility may
reduce their income or even take away their livelihood. And a wound
to the sensitive systems of the hand may cause lifelong disability
and will almost certainly reduce the victim’s ability to be
independent.
Finally, puncture wounds – the most common type of dog bite wound –
bring a special risk of infection and disease. The dog’s teeth work
like a twisted version of a syringe, injecting potential infections
deep into the victim’s body. Because of their poor circulation,
hands that have been bitten also run a high risk of infection. The
American Association of Family Physicians reports that infections
happen in 15 to 20 percent of dog bite wounds; the risk goes up if
the victim has a chronic health condition like diabetes or lupus;
abuses alcohol; or has had an amputation or an organ removed.
