Las Vegas Dog Bite Lawyers - Fighting for Your RightsAmericans love their dogs, and millions of people have one or more dogs living with them at any given time. Dogs are a foundational aspect of our culture, and while this is generally a positive thing, the reality is that dogs can also be dangerous for those who encounter them. Unfortunately, dog bites and dog attacks are a reality that is growing in prevalence, and if this has happened to you or someone you love, you need to take action by contacting an experienced Las Vegas dog bite lawyer. Below is a brief overview of the issue.Dog Bite Attorneys Las Vegas - General StatisticsWhile estimates are relatively rare, those that are available indicate that as many as 5 million dog bites occur every year in the United States, and of those incidents, almost 500,000 people require attention at an emergency room. In addition to injuries, dog attacks can also be fatal, and in 2008, 23 people in the United States were killed by dog attacks, most of whom were small children. While it's difficult to simply say that one or two breeds are responsible for this growing issue, statistics also indicate that the majority of dog attacks involve breeds that include pit bulls or a variation, Rottweilers or other dogs of that type. Generally, the dogs that attack tend to be between 40 and 60 pounds.Las Vegas Dog Bite Law - Legal DutiesWhen someone owns a dog, he or she takes on several responsibilities, some of which are legally mandated and others that are generally expected so that liability is limited. These duties include obtaining proper vaccinations for the dog, providing it with enough food and proper shelter such that it has no reason to fend for itself and to treat the dog in a reasonable manner. In terms of legal standards, dog owners have a duty to prevent others from the exposure of unreasonable danger of harm. Basically, this means that the owner is required to keep their dogs away from situations of any type that could result in the dog becoming aggressive and causing injuries or worse.If a dog owner fails to do this, he or she could be liable for the injuries caused. Even if all reasonable precautions are taken by the dog owner, he or she could still be liable if the dog has a known predisposition for aggression and attacks. If this type of demeanor requires the owner to prevent all contact with people, then that's what the law would generally require.
