What to Do After Being Bitten by a Dog
-
SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION
AND GATHER EVIDENCENo matter how badly you were hurt, you should go to the doctor to get examined. On the scene, you or a loved one should gather evidence to support your claim, including pictures, witness statements, medical expenses accrued later on, and lost wages.
-
REPORT THE INCIDENT
TO LOCAL AUTHORITIESCheck your municipality’s dog bite laws and contact the nearest animal control office. They have the authority to test the dog for rabies, issue citations against the owner and order them to muzzle the dog, and remove the dog from the area for observation.
