Abogados de lesiones por mordeduras de perro

Las mordeduras de perro pueden causar daños físicos graves, angustia emocional y cargas financieras. Ya sea que tú o tu mascota sean atacados, es fundamental comprender tus derechos.

Cada estado tiene leyes diferentes sobre mordeduras de perro, pero, en general, las víctimas tienen derecho a buscar una compensación por sus lesiones.

Consejos para prevenir mordeduras de perro
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), over 4.5 million people are victims of dog bites each year in the U.S. Below are tips to help prevent this from happening to you:
  • Always ask the dog’s owner for permission before reaching out to pet a dog.
  • Respect the dog’s space. Try not to interact with the dog if they are eating, sleeping, or chewing on a toy.
  • Stay away from an aggravated animal. If they are barking or growling, slowly back away and remove yourself from the situation.
  • Keep your pet on a leash at all times. You never know when another animal will become aggressive.
For more information and prevention tips, you can head to ASPCA to learn more about how you can be proactive.
