Information for Dog Bite Victims

Dog Bites: A Major Cause of Injury in Minneapolis / St. Paul

According to the City of Minneapolis Animal Care and Control Division, dog bites are a greater health problem for children that mumps, measles and whooping cough combined.  In fact, a child is more likely to visit the emergency room from a dog bite than from injuries suffered on playgrounds, bikes, mopeds, inline skates, skateboards and ATVs combined.  Dogs are dangerous.  That is why dog owners are legally responsible for keeping their dogs from injuring you and your family members.  Consequently, if you or your child has suffered the trauma of a dog bite, you are probably entitled to reimbursement for your medical expenses, lost earnings, and pain and suffering.  If the owner of the dog that bit you knew that the dog was dangerous, but let the dog run loose, you may be entitled to punitive damages, which are damages intended to punish the dog owner.
