WHAT TO DO AFTER AN ANIMAL BITE
If you and or your child have been attacked by an animal causing injury, the most important thing is to SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTIION. Our firm is here to protect your legal rights, however our first concern is your well being.
Please DO NOT WAIT TO SEEK MEDICAL
TREATMENT until after you have contacted us. Medical care is always the first priority. We suggest you do the following things if you are bitten::
- Call the police and paramedics if necessary
- Obtain the names and addresses of any witnesses
- If you have a camera available photograph the accident scene and the animal that bit you. If you are unable to photograph the animal make notes as soon as possible after the accident. Include the animals name, breed, size, color, location, how the bite occurred, date, time, etc.
- Keep the clothing you were wearing at the time of the attack. This may be important later. You should also take photographs of any injury (after medical treatment).
- Notify your local animal control and give general information about the attack (do not give a detailed statement until you have spoken with an attorney)
