Dog Attacks and Personal Injury in Michigan

Dog attacks are a serious concern in Michigan, particularly in densely populated urban areas like Detroit. According to public health data, hundreds of people report animal-related injuries every year. These incidents can lead to significant trauma, both physical and emotional, especially when young children or elderly individuals are involved.

Here are some key points to understand about the aftermath of dog attacks:

• Infection Risks: Dog bites can result in puncture wounds that easily become infected. If untreated, these infections may lead to more severe medical complications requiring hospitalization or surgery.
• Permanent Scarring: Deep or repeated bites may cause scarring or disfigurement. These types of injuries often need cosmetic or reconstructive procedures and may lead to long-term psychological effects.
• Legal Liability: Michigan law holds dog owners strictly liable if their dog bites someone, even if the animal has not shown previous aggression. Victims may be entitled to seek damages for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
• Emotional Trauma: Beyond physical harm, dog attacks can create lasting fear or anxiety around animals. This psychological damage can affect a person’s daily life, particularly in public spaces.
• Children at Higher Risk: Young children are especially vulnerable due to their size and natural curiosity. Attacks on children often lead to more severe injuries and emotional trauma.
• Financial Burden: Emergency care, follow-up appointments, and any needed counseling or plastic surgery can become a costly burden. These expenses may be covered through a personal injury claim.
