Dog bite injuries affect approximately 4.7 million people in the United States annually. Of this population, about 800,000 dog bite victims require medical treatment each year. Most dog bite victims are children, as it is the second leading cause of injury to minors.

Dog bite attacks account for one out of three homeowner's liability insurance claims, which translates into more than one billion dollars in pay-outs annually. Dog bite claims fall under the umbrella of personal injury law, where an injured party has the legal right to seek compensation for injuries caused by another party's actions or negligence.

There are many reasons why a dog may attack. Many dog bite injuries occur when a dog is trying to defend or protect his territory, establish dominance over his/her victim, is in a new, unfamiliar, or threatening environment, and when disturbed while eating, sleeping, or coveting a toy or treat.

  • Male dogs bite more often than females, especially those between the ages of one and five.

  • All breeds of dog bite, although statistic show that Rottweilers and Pit Bulls perpetrate approximately half of all dog bite related fatalities.
