What are the worst injuries sustained during a dog attack?

Typically, the worst injuries medical personnel see are facial injuries that need stitches or surgery. In some cases, once a dog attacks, they do not stop and the injuries may be inflicted on other parts of the body during the attack, as dogs tend to maul their victims while biting. Some dogs, if they cannot be stopped or diverted, can kill a victim. We have represented victims on the full range of the spectrum, from representing clients who have relatively minor injuries to representing a family of a child killed by a dog.
