Every year there are over three million dog bites reported in the United States, with another three million going unreported. Many of these attacks result in serious injuries, and sometimes even death.

Washington State holds the owner liable for any and all attacks that the dog starts, even if it was the dogs’ first attack.

If you were injured by a dog, you may be able to recover damages for:

• Pain and Suffering
• Disfigurement
• Medical expenses
• Loss of Income
• Loss of Consortium (for your life partner)
• Other damages

Injuries from dog bites can range from minor to severe and life altering. You may suffer from physical as well as psychological trauma. Dog bite injuries are especially traumatic for young children who may have to live with traumatic disfigurement until they are grown up and can undergo corrective surgery.
