Bitten By Dog During a Delivery Lawyer

Dog Bites to Delivery Drivers Are on the Rise in All States

Delivery drivers are the first heroes of the pandemic, being able to provide people, clients and customers with their deliveries during the shutdowns, forced closings and forced quarantines of our nation. But they are not being treated as heroes, when irresponsible dog owners allow their dogs to run free, run off leash and not be tied up properly in the yard to bite the delivery drivers as they make their much needed and anticipated deliveries. A delivery driver is just doing his or her job – to make a delivery. They do a great job at it too, with on-time and timely deliveries which come to our doors exactly when they expect them.

Unfortunately, the delivery driver’s reward for making a delivery on time in a difficult situation such as during the pandemic, is for the owner’s dog to bite the delivery driver. When a delivery driver is bitten by a dog, it can come with serious repercussions.

Dog Bites Are Especially Dangerous Because of the Bacteria Factors of These Injuries

If you experience a dog bite as a delivery person, you are definitely in harms way. There is a “hole and tear” effect where a dog can bite you, and the canine teeth will tear, shear and pull away vital tissues on your body. This exposing of sensitive tissues can leave you open to wounds, whereby you may even have to have a limb amputated as a result of a serious dog bite.

The wound management for a dog bite is critical in all cases. People are bitten by dogs at an alarming rate, from jogging, walking in their neighborhood and in their own homes. But a delivery person is not going to be familiar to the loose dog, or a dog off leash in an area, and that dog may have a higher propensity to attack for that reason.

Dog Bite Infections

If you have been bitten by a dog, there is a high likelihood that you will get a serious infection. Dog bite infections are polymicrobial, with Pasteurella and Bacteroides common issues in infected bites. These infections can include staphylococci or anaerobes, as well as septicemia, and other infectious pathogens that will show up within 12 hours of a dog bite. The anaerobes include:

• Prevotella
• Porphyromonas
• Fusobacteria
• Capnycytophaga canimorus
• Pasteurella multocida
