Tips to Prevent Dog Bites

Christopher Earley | | Dog Bites

I found the following on the wonderfully comprehensive personal injury law web site of Edward Smith who is a personal injury attorney in San Jose, California. On his web site attorney Smith provides great information on dog bites. Here are some tips to avoid a dog bite and/or dog attack, and I am aware that some dog owners may scoff at these ideas:

  • Never approach an unfamiliar dog
  • Never run from a dog and scream
  • Stay still when an unfamiliar dog comes up to you
  • If knocked over by a dog, roll into a ball and lie still
  • Do not look a dog in the eye
  • Never leave a child or infant alone with a dog
  • Do not play aggressive games with your dog, such as wrestling

I invite you to contact me with any Massachusetts dog bite questions and concerns you may have.

Nearly twenty years ago when I opened my practice I decided to dedicate my career to advancing the rights of injury victims against powerful insurance companies. Personally, I find great satisfaction in helping good and honest people who have been wronged due to no fault of their own. I am really proud to have earned our clients’ hard-earned trust by running a law firm our clients can always count on to do the right thing.
