Dog Attacks
You go to play with a friendly-looking dog, only to find that it has been poorly trained and, as a result, attacks you. Dogs are often called man’s best friend, but that is a conditional title. Poorly trained dogs may become aggressive, in which case they may attack and seriously injure you.
If you or someone you love has been injured by someone’s poorly trained dog, contact the Queens dog bite lawyers of Parker Waichman Alonso, LLP at 1-888-244-2273.
Preventing Dog Attacks
While some dogs are poorly trained, others may attack when provoked. Though you may think you are being harmless, many actions humans perform may seem threatening to a dog, in which case it may attack you. Some things to consider when playing with a dog are:
- Always ask the owner’s permission before approaching the dog
- Do not try to play with a barking or snarling dog
- Speak softly; do not yell or scream at a dog
Dogs may look friendly, but they may be aggressive, which is why you should always ask the owner before trying to pet a dog. Unfortunately, some dogs may attack even when not provoked. This may be due to poor training or a naturally aggressive temperament.
Should you get attacked by a dog, you may be able to hold the dog’s owned accountable for your injuries. Furthermore, you may be entitled to financial compensation for your injuries.
