Frequently Asked Questions

Q: A dog in our Brooklyn apartment complex attacked my child.  What are some of the possible complications associated with a dog bite injury?

A: There are definitely some things you need to watch for.  Keep in mind that most dog bite injuries will heal with no complications, but on rare occasions, problems do arise.  A New York dog attack can lead to infection, scarring and emotional trauma.

Dog bite infections are usually very serious.  If you notice that your child is experiencing a lot of pain or if the dog bite wound becomes red, contact your doctor immediately.

Dog bites often cause scarring.  Sometimes plastic surgery is required to repair the scars.

Another major repercussion of a dog attack that is often overlooked is the emotional trauma the victim may experience.  When a dog bites a child, it is not uncommon for the child to become fearful of the animals and start to exhibit unusual behavior.  Young dog bite victims can become clingy to their parents and may become aggressive to their siblings.

For more information, contact a New York dog bite lawyer at the law firm of Rappaport, Glass, Greene and Levine at 800.734.9445.
