The vast majority animal attacks victims are little kids. In fact, dog bites are the cause of more emergency room visits than any other children's activity, even burn injuries. Serious laceration injuries make victims of the youngest of children, ages ten (10) and under; over seventy-seven percent (77%) of injuries to small kids are those involving their heads and faces. Amazingly, at least sixty-one percent (61%) of dog bite attacks happen in their own houses, or in their very neighborhoods. A small child who was bit by a dog owned by a friend or neighbor can cause a lot of problems emotionally speaking. You usually don't want to sue friends, neighbors and family members. But you need to understand that many of these injuries are covered by the dog owners and homeowners insurance policy, and may even include insurance claims under an excess or umbrella policy to boot. But you need to know California dog bite laws to get the most recovery.
