Germantown Dog Bite Lawyer
Dogs can be friendly and affectionate animals, but they can also be aggressive and have the ability to bite someone. Being a dog owner entails being responsible for how your animal acts. If a person is bitten and sustains a serious injury, the dog owner may be liable for what happened. Depending on the circumstances, victims may be owed compensation for their injury care and other losses. Dog owners must be aware of how their animal behaves towards animals and people, and take precautions if they know their dog can be reactive. As our Germantown, MD dog bite lawyer explains, owners who fail to keep the public safe from their dangerous canine may have to pay for the victim’s medical bills. If this is a situation you are currently going through, please contact our team at Antezana & Antezana today.
Risk Of Infection
If you were bitten by a dog, then you need to get yourself to the nearest doctor. There is a risk of infection if the dog’s bite broke through the skin barrier. There are bacteria present in a dog’s mouth that may get transferred to your system through the bite itself. The bite may have been so severe that there were torn tissues, broken bones, and exposed muscles underneath. It is essential to your health to get a doctor’s exam and treatment. It will help you in your pursuit of compensation to have photographs of the injury as evidence of the attack. Medical documentation can also be used as proof to show the type and extent of your injuries.

Maryland Dog Bite Laws
Many states have implemented strict dog bite laws, and Maryland is no exception. Owners of canines have a duty to the public to make sure their dog is not a danger to the community. Our dedicated dog bite attorney can assess the circumstances and factors of the dog bite incident to see if liability may be found under strict liability or negligence. The court will consider if the dog owner had been aware of their dog’s propensity for aggression. A dog owner may be liable for injuries their dog caused. Even if strict liability does not apply to the situation, the owner may have to pay for the acts of their animal due to negligence if it can be proven they were careless in controlling or supervising their canine.
Antezana & Antezana LLC
Dog owners must keep their dogs under control, particularly if they are known to be aggressive. The public should not suffer because an owner failed to monitor their canine adequately. If you have spoken with the owner and they are resistant in paying you accordingly, we can contact them and encourage them to provide compensation so that further legal action is not taken. However, we can help you initiate a lawsuit if needed.
If you were seriously injured and want compensation for your medical bills and other losses, then contact our MD dog bite attorney right away. Our team at Antezana & Antezana LLC can evaluate what happened and let you know if the owner owes you monetarily.
