Baltimore Dog Bite Injuries
The Maryland Daily Record's website reports that Attorney General Doug Gansler held a press conference to address the issue of dogfighting in our communities. The article notes that this is most prevalent in Baltimore City.
As a mascot, he brought in a pitbull terrier named Kane as an example of the kinds of animals commonly used for this brutal, offensive excuse for a "sport".
Baltimore injury lawyers see a lot of children injured as a result of vicious or unsupervised dogs. These injuries usually lead to moderate medical bills, but significant emotional trauma and scarring. Occasionally children are permanently disfigured or killed.
It is important to make sure to contact the appropriate authorities. They will conduct an investigation, and sometimes a hearing to determine what to do about an animal that causes this kind of injury. These hearings are recorded, and can be useful in presenting a claim for injuries from a dog bite.
