| Toddler in Serious Condition after Dog Attack |
Just a few hours north of Los Angeles County, a little girl is in critical condition after she was attacked by a dog last Thursday. The toddler was playing in the backyard at a relative's house, when the family dog attacked her. The owner had to physically restrain the animal until the paramedics arrived. The young girl was rushed to a near by hospital and later transferred to a well known medical center. She remains in critical condition and sustained nearly fatal injuries in the attack. Authorities reported that the dog has been quarantined for 10 days in a Valley Oak SPCA, and the courts will decide if the animal should be euthanized.
This tragic story confirms known statistics about dog attack injuries sustained by children. Los Angeles dog attacks involving young children are more likely to result in fatal injuries, Most kids sustain head injuries that later develop into a traumatic brain injury or TBI. Other children have undergone extensive reconstructive surgeries to fix the damage done to their facial structure and / or other appendages.
If your child has been attacked by a neighborhood dog, do not wait to file an injury claim. The law states that the owners are liable for any injuries their animal causes to someone.
