Dog Bites and Animal Mauling

Accident There are close to one million people who seek medical treatment for dog bites annually in the United States. Over half of the victims are young children and the most frequent place of injury is the face. These accidents can cause severe emotional and physical trauma and the ill effects can last a lifetime. Animal mauling is on the rise due to increase in population density and the number of people keeping exotic species. Some of these animals are not kept in proper conditions due to ignorance or neglect. The resulting injuries can be life threatening and we urge you to contact us immediately at 703-777-1650 in the event of an animal attack. Even if you “know” the dog or pet, please familiarize your family with safe behavior rules around any animal.
