Dog bites can happen any time a delivery is made to a home. Delivery drivers need to take special care to avoid dogs during deliveries, but it is not always possible when the delivery driver is charged by an aggressive biting dog. Delivery drivers deliver food and packages to homes more than ever before, because of the pandemic and more people using online services to order food and products.
It is not the fault of the delivery driver that a loose dog comes around the corner to bite him or her during the delivery. The homeowners are completely responsible for ensuring the safety of delivery drivers that come to their home, and the home of the neighbors in their community if their dog is running around loose. Loose dogs can cause car accidents, bite delivery drivers, and generally create a nuisance in the community.

We are confident that we can get you the money you deserve in this type of claim. When you call our office, you will be talking to an attorney who knows what to do to win this case, to get to you the settlement package that you deserve for vicious dog bite attacks.
Any Dog That Bites You Is “Vicious”!
When we say “vicious” we don’t mean that the dog has to be frothing at the mouth, chasing you at top speeds, and causing you to run away from the dog at breakneck paces to get away for your life. No, ANY dog bite is from a vicious dog. In general, most dogs kept as pets are kind, loving and wonderful dogs, but there are exceptions. Why does a dog turn and start to bite someone? Well, there are a myriad of reasons, none of which are your business or problem. All that matters is that a dog bit you, and that you have personal injuries.
It actually doesn’t matter any longer the reasons. The facts are not going to answer the questions: Why the dog bit you? Why the dog was out without a leash or an owner, or had access to bite you as you made deliveries? What made the dog bite you on that day? None of these questions stopped a loose dog from coming up to you and biting you. But all of these questions will be answered by a settlement from the dog’s owner, who is 100% responsible for that dog, and any injuries that the dog causes to other people in the community.

All Dog Bites Pose a Serious Risk of Infection
Any time that you are bitten by a strange dog, you are risking receiving a serious infection along with a personal injury. Infections from dog bites are found in most cases, whereby a dog bite will contaminate the wound elevating the risk of getting a serious infection. Dog bites have polymicrobial flora from the mouth of the dog and from the environment. Before a dog bite wound can be closed, it will need to be sterilized to minimize any risk of infection. Dog bites can also result in scarring of the area of the skin bitten, as well as complications when a dog bite severs an artery or worse.
Dog Bite Wounds Are Often Complicated to Treat and Heal
When a delivery driver is bitten by a strange dog along the route, that driver may have a risk of infection, and suffer scarring and a serious injury as the result of the dog bite. Vicious dogs that bite people walking in the community, or delivery people on the property, make deep wounds with their bites. The dog may tear, crush or otherwise damage the underlying tissue in the person’s hand, finger, arm, leg or foot. Dog bites need to be cleaned and repaired, and often there is surgery to repair the damage to the skin, muscle, cartilage, bone or grafting may be necessary to save the limb or finger.
If a person is attacked by a dog and bitten while delivering packages or food, the dog can bite an even wider range of skin and tissue on the person’s body. These dog bite locations can include areas of the:
- Head and trunk
- Upper limbs, arms and hands
- Trunk
- Lower limbs legs and feet
- Multiple sites
- Head injury from the fall during the attack
We are able to start the process to begin a lawsuit on your behalf for your dog bite claim. You will have the opportunity to work with a lawyer with experience in knowing how to win this type of case for recovery compensation for dog bites.
“Help, I Do Deliveries as My Job, and a Vicious Dog Just Bit Me!”
The treatment for dog bites will vary depending on the severity of the dog bite, and the tissue damaged during the dog attack. Sometimes it may take a long time for a dog bite to heal, especially if there are tendons, cartilage, bone, skin tears and infections from the bacteria in the dog’s mouth as factors related to the current dog bite. The treatment for a dog bite may include:
- Surgery
- Anti-tetanus toxoid
- Immunoglobulin
- Rabies vaccine
- Antibiotics
- Analgesics
