What to Do After a Bite
The strongest dog bite claims are built with strong evidence. That means, if you or your child are bitten by a dog, you should take action quickly, while the details of the accident are still fresh in your minds.
Use these guidelines to help build a strong case:
- Collect Contact Information: Ask for the names and addresses of the dog’s owners and any witnesses to the attack.
- Photograph the Injuries: Take pictures of bites, bruises, and torn or bloody clothing.
- Visit a Doctor: Make sure you get proper medical treatment to prevent infection, reduce the chances of permanent scarring, and provide a record of your injuries.
- Report the Bite: Contact local animal control authorities and notify them of the incident.
- Get Legal Help: Contact Lundy Law’s dog bite lawyers by calling 1-800-LundyLaw or by completing a free initial consultation form.
It’s important to take action and gather these important details as soon as possible after a dog attack. If you’ve been bitten in Cherry Hill, Wilmington, Philadelphia, or anywhere in the Delaware or Lehigh Valleys, our dog bite lawyers will use this documentation to help build a strong claim for you.
