Are Dog Attacks Common in Newport Beach?
With a growing population and dog ownership keeping pace, many dog bites and dog attacks have happened recently. There are several parks and open areas, such as the boardwalk and beaches, where dog owners can take their pets, but often times the attacks happen at one's house or a close friend/relative's house.
Who is Responsible for a Dog Attack?
The dog's owner is responsible for its actions - plain and simple. Most of the victims of dog bites are children, naturally, but adults are attacked often as well. Sometimes, even unprovoked, dogs can attack, and the resulting injuries can be devastating.
These attacks are basically random events, so it's hard to be prepared for them. One thing that's crucial to a quality dog bite case is procuring evidence quickly. The longer you wait, the more likely things will "fall through the cracks." Photographs, witness statements, and geographic details are all extremely important to your dog bite case.
Dog Bite Statistics
Some of the dog bite statistics seem larger than they should be, but they happen pretty often. Many injuries every year are attributed to dogs, many more than most people assume. Part of the reason for this is many attacks go unreported.
