REPORT AGGRESSIVE DOG BEFORE IT BITES SOMEONE

Can you report an aggressive dog before it bites someone? Should you? The answer is that you definiately can report a dog before it bites someone.  Of course, whether you should is another question. Our dog bite lawyers think in many cases you should.

In some cases, a dog bite comes out of the blue and there was no warning that the dog was dangerous. However, there are also situations where the dog demonstrates aggressive behaviour long before it attacks some one. For example, leaving the yard to charge people walking on the street. In a better world, the owner of an aggressive dog would recognize it and take action. At a minimum, the dog owner should make sure the aggressive dog is restrained at all times. Unfortunately, not everyone is a good dog owner.

Our dog bite lawyers handle many severe cases every year. The injuries from a dog bite can require significant medical treatment and leave lasting disfigurement.  Of course, it is unfomfortable to report a dog, especially if you know the owner. However, you may be preventing a serious, lifechanging injury. Reporting a dog does not mean anything bad will happen to the dog or dog owner. If the dog has not actually attacked anyone yet, law enforcement can just talk to the owner and let the know there are concerns.
