Common Trauma Types After Dog Bites

Dog bites can result in a wide range of injuries, varying in severity from minor to life-altering. Our experienced dog bite attorneys in Los Angeles understand the complexities of these injuries and will fight to get you the compensation you are owed for the trauma you’ve endured.

Common physical injuries include:

• Puncture wounds and lacerations: These can range from superficial to deep, potentially causing nerve damage, muscle tears, and permanent scarring.
• Infections: Dog bites can introduce harmful bacteria into the wound, leading to serious infections that may require extensive medical treatment.
• Fractures and broken bones: Powerful dog bites, especially from larger breeds, can easily break bones, requiring surgery and lengthy rehabilitation.
• Facial injuries: Dog bites to the face can be particularly devastating, resulting in disfigurement, vision problems, and significant emotional distress.
• Rabies and other diseases: While rare, dog bites can transmit rabies and other serious diseases, requiring immediate medical attention and preventive treatment.

Emotional and psychological trauma can include:

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD): The traumatic experience of a dog attack can lead to PTSD, causing flashbacks, nightmares, and anxiety.
• Emotional distress: Victims may experience anxiety, depression, and difficulty coping with the emotional aftermath of the attack.
• Fear and phobias: A dog bite can trigger a fear of dogs or even a general fear of going outdoors, impacting daily life and activities.

Children are especially vulnerable to both the physical and emotional consequences of dog bites. At Cohen & Marzban, we are dedicated to protecting the rights of all dog bite victims and helping them on the path to recovery.
