Puncture Wounds From Dog Bites

A puncture wound might not look as dramatic as some other dog bite injuries. They don't bleed as much, they normally close on their own, and people sometimes think they don't even require medical treatment. The truth is, however, that puncture wounds can be very serious.

• Puncture wounds are prone to infection, and the risk of infection is even greater if the injury was caused by a dog bite. If infection sets in, the complications can be life-threatening.
• They can lead to serious nerve damage that affects many parts of your day-to-day life.
• They can cause other dangerous medical conditions like rabies, blood poisoning, and tetanus.

All of these situations can require extensive medical treatment that causes stress about your health and finances.

We've helped many clients who had no idea how much their injury would impact their lives. Things quickly go from normal to spinning out of control, and they aren't sure how to find their footing. Our job is to provide direction and stability.

Why You May Need to Hire a Dog Bite Lawyer

There's a straightforward reason why hiring the right dog bite attorney is important: It can mean the difference between getting the compensation you deserve – or not. You may not realize now all the medical expenses you'll have in the future. You probably don't know that certain types of scars entitle you to additional compensation. You might not think about the fact that your health insurance may refuse to cover future medical treatments they deem "cosmetic."
