Every year more than 4.7 million people in the United States are bitten by dogs, approximately one out of every six of these bites are serious enough to require medical attention. When these attacks occur the owners of the animals may be held liable for the injuries incurred. If you have suffered injuries as a result of an animal attack, it is important to know your legal rights.

Laws are in place to protect victims of such attacks, however, depending on the jurisdiction, one's right to bring a claim may expire relatively quickly. Therefore, it is imperative that if you or someone you know has been injured due to an animal attack that you consult with an attorney as soon as possible to preserve the right to receive compensation for the injury.
