SOME BASICS ON DOG ATTACKS
There are many Florida statutes that outline dog provisions that mainly cover dangerous canine laws.
Florida laws regarding dog bites and attacks can be extremely complex and many times depend on Personal Injuries Litigation for fair resolution of personal injury claims. There are many reasons for dog bites, such as a puppy teething or an attack by an aggressive dog.
Dog bites require immediate action depending on the circumstances and severity of any personal injuries suffered. In Miami, for example, some dog owners take them to parks and public places with disregard for the safety of others, simply by having their dogs roam free and unleashed. Many times, these dogs act instinctively and attack strangers and cause serious personal injury.
Below is some basic advice when dealing with dog bites:
Flesh Wounds
- Clean the animal attack wound with water and then clean with hydrogen peroxide or isopropyl alcohol. Apply a topical antibiotic and cover the wound with a bandage.
More Serious Wounds
- If the wound does not bleed much, then blood should be allowed to flow out naturally, which helps release any possible debris. If the victim of an animal attack has lost of a lot of blood or if there is heavy bleeding, or if the bite wound is on the face or neck area, call 911 immediately. Apply direct pressure to stop the bleeding and seek immediate emergency assistance.
- Do not apply alcohol, hydrogen peroxide or iodine to deep wounds because such products are known to delay healing. Dressing the wound is not absolutely necessary but the wound should be cleansed to prevent infection.
