Pit bulls are athletic dogs that can inflict serious harm on other animals and humans. Unfortunately, the results of a pit bull attack are almost always devastating. Pit bulls can tear and shred with their strong jaws and sharp teeth.  

If you or a loved one is the victim of a pit bull attack, extensive medical treatment is probably necessary. Victims are faced with mounting medical bills and costs due to treatment involving stitches, vaccinations, medications, and surgical repairs. Not to mention, pit bulls are notorious for causing deadly attacks all over the United States. Some jurisdictions make it illegal to own or keep a pit bull.

Common Injuries From Pit Bulls

Pit bulls are incredibly powerful and will aggressively attack and maul their victims. Common injuries from pit bull attacks are as follows:

• Cuts and lacerations;
• Contusions and abrasions;
• Fractured and broken bones;
• Amputations or loss of limbs;
• Degloving injuries;
• Bacterial infections; and 
• Death.

The aftermath of a pit bull attack often leaves victims and their families in a world of hurt and tragedy. Laws are in place to protect victims, enforce their rights, and help them seek the compensation that they deserve.

Why You Should Contact a Lawyer 

The bottom line is that pit bulls are known to be dangerous and cause injuries to humans. Insurance companies and responsible parties may try to get in the way of an injured victim or the victim's family by preventing them from obtaining the financial compensation they deserve. The plaintiff or injured victim has the burden of proof to show that the person in control of the pit bull is somehow at fault for the attack and injuries. That person may be negligent, reckless, or responsible under a law enacted by the legislature. A lawyer may be able to help the victim satisfy the burden of proof and obtain compensation for the harm and losses suffered.
