It goes without saying that a dog attack can cause injuries so severe that the victim may need a lifetime of care for their trauma. What may come as a surprise to some is that dog bite broken bones is a common injury, and for those who suffer this level of harm, a long road to recovery lies ahead.
At the Law Office of Peter Briskin, P.C., we represent families throughout New Jersey that have a loved one who suffered serious injuries, including broken bones, due to a canine attack. State statutes make it possible to recover compensatory damages as well as pain and suffering damages because of such a horrifying experience, but it is important to know there is a two-year time limit to file a personal injury claim.
Devastating Attacks Cause Tragic Injuries
As experienced personal injury attorneys, we cannot emphasize enough the severe nature of animal attacks involving canines. The Law Office of Peter Briskin, P.C. has represented hundreds of victims involving incidents with all sizes and breeds of dogs lashing out, so we genuinely understand the devastation that can be inflicted by man’s best friend.
When it comes to dog bite broken bone attacks, our practice has an extensive understanding of how this severe injury can occur under these circumstances:
Large Dogs
Large breed dogs like mastiffs or Saint Bernards can leap onto their prey with significant force and push it to the ground. The impact of this collision frequently leads to fractured and broken bones. The force of one of these large breed dogs can easily break human bone.
Small Dogs
Yes, small dogs can also cause broken bones. Dog bite broken bone attacks involving canines of lower stature often injure delicate areas like hands, fingers, and the face. This is because often times people bend down to the level of these smaller dogs and extend their hands out to pet them.
