| 3 Year Old Killed in Pit Bull Dog Attack |
On Saturday January 11, 2010 a little boy died from the injuries he sustained in a dog attack. The toddler was attacked by the family's pit bull. After the attack the dog showed signs of aggression and the county sheriff's department was forced to shoot the animal. The accidental death of the boy and the details surrounding the dog attack are still under investigation. It is unknown if something provoked the animal or if the child was left without supervision.
Statistics reflect that the number of fatal dog attacks in the United State, including Los Angeles, are increasing over time. In 2008 there were 23 fatal dog attacks reported and in 2009 there were 30. Research also shows that pit bulls, along with Rottweilers and Presa Canarios, are responsible for 68% of the dog attacks involving children. Research also found that these particular breeds were responsible for 74% of the total attacks reported.
The city of Los Angeles adheres to the laws of strict liability. Dog owners are responsible for any injuries that result in the event of a dog attack. If your child has been injured in a dog attack you should know that you have rights. It is important for your to be informed of these rights. You should contact an injury law firm who is well educated and who has experience representing victims of dog bites.
