Common injuries from a dog bite or dog attack include:

• Puncture wounds
• Lacerations
• Abrasions, scratches, or other skin or subcutaneous tissue injury
• Loss of fingers, limbs, or other body parts
• Disfigurement
• Broken or fractured bones
• Internal injuries and crushing injury

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, over 31,000 dog bite victims underwent reconstructive surgery in 2006 as a result of a dog bite or dog attack. Unfortunately such surgery is rarely sufficient to completely correct disfigurement. There may be substantial scarring that remains, and sometimes future reconstructive surgery may be necessary. Our Des Plaines dog bite attorneys understand that victims of dog bites and dog attacks are concerned with compensation for current medical bills, and also compensation for future treatments to address scarring, disfigurement, or infection.
