Get medical care right away, report the bite, identify the dog owner, take photos, collect witness information, and keep all medical records. After the immediate health concerns are handled, speak with a dog bite injury lawyer before giving detailed statements to an insurance company.
You may be able to recover compensation if you were injured by a dog bite. Compensation may cover medical bills, lost income, pain and suffering, scarring, emotional distress, and future care. The exact claim depends on where the bite occurred, who owned or controlled the dog, and the extent of the injury.
