Wag! Company Dog Bites Are Plentiful!
If you are a dog walker with Wag!, then you might have incurred a dog bite. Any time that there is a dog bite, it has the chance to be a serious injury. That is because dog bites can become infected, or the dog that bit you could be rabid. The owner of the dog is going to be responsible for the dog’s behavior while it is on the walk with you if you are a dog sitter.
Injuries Common When a Dog Bites Someone
There are many different types of injuries common when a dog bites you. You can get bitten on your face, head, neck, arms or legs, trunk, feet or literally anywhere on your body. If you are injured by a dog bite, you may have a serious wound from that bite. The dog bite wound may need sutures, surgery, and may affect and involve your tendons, ligaments and joints. The tissue inside of that would may be devitalized, and you may suffer a penetrating wound that may have problems healing.
A serious concern is the risk of infection from a dog bite wound. If there is an infected bite, there can be a dog bite organism that is found in the wound. This will lead to infection if these types of pathogens are introduced to your body through a dog bite wound.
Common bacterial organisms that can be found in dog bites are:
- Pasteurella
- Streptococcus
- Staphylococcus
- Neisseria
- Corynebacterium
- Moraxella
- Enterococcus
- Bacillus
- Fusobacterium
- Porphyromonas
- Prevotella
- Propionibacterium
- Bacteroides
- Peptostreptococcus
These bacteria that are found in dog bite wounds are serious and can lead to complicated infections that are hard to heal. If an abscess is formed and the wound cannot heal, the affected tissue will more than likely need to be cut off. This may result in an amputation, which can lead to serious repercussions, and all from a “minor” dog bite. Therefore, dog bites need to be considered as serious matters, and not minor at all.
Dogs Pulling the Dog Walkers Aggressively Resulting in Falls and Injury
If a dog walker is pulled aggressively by an unruly or ill trained dog, then the dog walker will likely suffer a fall and an injury as a result of the dog’s behavior. Dogs need to be continually trained on how to walk properly, as to not drag the person walking the dog. Some big and muscular dogs who have never been properly trained by their owners, lead the owner as the dob being the obvious leader of the “pack.” This is evidenced if you ever see a dog owner walking his dog down the street, and the dog is proudly walking several paces out ahead of the dog owner. That is certainly a case of the dog walking the owner!
In general, dogs should be trained to walk down the street in a “heel” position. This means that the dog should walk next to the owner’s side, but many owners are oblivious as to how to properly train their dogs. As a result, a dog who has never been properly trained will lead the dog walker all over the place, often running ahead of the dog walker with all its strength. These actions will certainly cause the dog walker to fall down, trip on the pavement, or otherwise be dragged to the ground by a big, heavy and muscular dog. If this has happened to you, just give our law office a call right away. We can help you to initiate a lawsuit on the merits of your case.
