Types of Dog Bite Complications
Dog bite injuries can lead to very serious and sometimes painful complications. Some types of complications can arise soon after the injury has occurred, such as an infection. Some other types may take years to address, such as plastic surgery. Our skilled lawyers provide comprehensive representation to clients with all types of dog bite complications and concerns, including the following:
- Infections
- Scarring
- Disfigurement
- Plastic surgery
- Reconstructive surgery
Surgeries may require a lengthy amount of time from which to recover. If you experience wage loss due to surgery, you should be compensated for that loss.
When children are attacked by animals, they may need to wait until they are young adults to undergo reconstructive surgery. This is because they are not done growing, and the surgery may need to be performed once they have matured. Dog bite injuries can affect people for many years.
Often, the psychological damage can outweigh the physical damage. If your child will require counseling to address a fear of dogs, we can craft a settlement demand that provides for that expense.
