Philadelphia Deep Wound Lawyers

More than four million Americans are attacked by dogs yearly, resulting in approximately 800,000 trips to the hospital. One of the most drastic types of injuries that can occur as a result of a dog bite is a deep wound. When dogs bite, the extreme force from their jaws can force their teeth far into someone’s limbs, chest, or even face. These deep puncture wounds can result in severe structural damage, broken bones, lacerations, and internal bleeding, in addition to serving as the perfect breeding grounds for hundreds of different strains of virulent microorganisms.

If you or a loved one has suffered a deep wound as a result of a dog bite, contact the Philadelphia deep wound lawyers of Lowenthal & Abrams, P.C. at 215-238-1130, and we will fight for your legal rights, working to hold the owner of the dog liable for any injuries that the dog may have caused.

What to Do if You Have Been Bitten

A medical doctor should examine every wound, especially deep puncture wounds, to ensure that infection does not occur. After calling the police and any first responders, you should immediately attempt to identify the owner of the dog in order to determine who is responsible for your injuries.

Even if no legal action is taken, establishing a paper trail to identify a dog as a potential threat will significantly improve your case if the dog ever attacks again, and will also assist anyone else who is victimized by the dog. You should also take photographs of all wounds, bleeding, and anything else that is affected by the puncture wound.
