It is an extremely harmful misconception that dog bite claims are frivolous. As all serious dog bite victims know, an animal attack can significantly change your life and your health. This is even more true when the victim is a child. Getting fair compensation for dog bite injuries isn’t really about suing the dog’s owner or winning a lawsuit, it is about upholding the law. It is about getting dangerous dogs off of our streets. Most importantly, it is about getting the support you need to return a normal life.

Pennsylvania Dog Bite Statistics

Don’t be fooled -- the dog bite you suffered was not an “isolated incident” or a “freak accident.” You weren’t “just in the wrong place at the wrong time.” According to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), a shocking 4.5 million Americans are bitten by dogs each year. A small minority, mostly young children and senior citizens, even die from their injuries.

Here are a few more statistics that show the staggering frequency and seriousness of these events, both in Pennsylvania and across the country:

• Every 27 minutes, someone in the United States seeks medical attention for a dog attack injury.
• It is estimated that for every reported dog bite in Pennsylvania, three go unreported.
• In PA, as many as 41,000 people annually require medical treatment for canine bites.
• More than 13,700 victims across the state require emergency room care from canine attacks each year.
• More than 1.92 million people in Pennsylvania, or 2% of the state population, are bitten by dogs annually.
• More than half of all serious dog bite victims are children.
