Common Injuries Sustained In Dog Bite Attacks

Attacks and bites from dogs and other animals can cause extensive injuries. Some of the most common injuries are listed below.

A dog’s teeth can easily puncture skin and leave piercing wounds. Because of the nature of these wounds, they can be deep, leading to an infection and bleeding.

• Lacerations:

A deep cut or tear can cause damage to nerves, bones, muscles, and blood vessels. Immediate medical care is needed to close these wounds and prevent infection.
