Dog Attacks in Michigan

Dog bites and animal attacks can cause serious injuries, requiring medical treatment and, in some cases, long-term care. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, approximately 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs in the U.S. each year, with thousands requiring emergency medical attention.

Some common injuries sustained in dog attacks include:

• Puncture Wounds and Lacerations: Dog bites often break the skin, leading to deep wounds that may require stitches or surgery.
• Infections: Bacteria from a dog’s mouth can cause infections such as cellulitis or even sepsis if left untreated.
• Nerve and Tissue Damage: Severe bites can result in long-term nerve damage, leading to chronic pain or mobility issues.
• Emotional Trauma: Victims of dog attacks, especially children, may suffer from anxiety, PTSD, or a long-term fear of dogs.
• Broken Bones: Some attacks can be forceful enough to fracture bones, particularly in children or older adults.
