Dog bites are traumatic in a unique way. You used to enjoy a stroll through Village Point Park or around D’Olive Bay, but an unexpected and painful dog bite can transform your favorite park or even in your own neighborhood painful reminder of a terrifying attack.
If this sounds like your story, you’re not alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 4.5 million people suffer from dog bites each year. Even when an animal is a pet someone knows well, it can become a dangerous dog under the wrong circumstances, whether it’s a pit bull or a spaniel.
Most of these the people injured in dog attacks are young children between the ages of five and nine years old. Understandably, many parents worry about infection and other healthcare needs, medical expenses, disfigurement, and the psychological harm caused by a dog attack.
If you or your child has suffered a dog attack in Daphne, the greater Baldwin County, or the eastern shore of Mobile Bay, one of our dog bite lawyers at Andy Citrin Injury Attorneys can listen to your story and help you decide what to do next.

The injury from a dog bite might be a few little scratches or it might be a deep, angry wound. Even a mild dog bite injury should receive immediate medical attention. This is especially important if you do not know the dog’s health and immunization history.
Typical dog bite injuries include:
The dog’s teeth sink directly down into your skin. Children are more likely to get these on their faces, and adults may get them on their hands, forearms, and legs.
The delicate tissue in and around the eye is vulnerable to scratches and infection.
The dog’s teeth can rip and tear your skin, as well as the muscles, ligaments, and tendons underneath.
The faster you receive medical care for the wounds, the lesser your chances for infection (such as rabies) and significant scarring.
The mental and emotional injuries of a dog bite may take longer to appear. While they don’t carry immediate physical risks, these scars may have a greater impact on quality of life and emotional well-being, especially for a child.
