ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI DOG BITE LAWYERS
Dogs are man’s best friend. But all dogs—no matter how friendly or domesticated—still have the potential to bite. Dog bites can range in severity from minor cuts to life-threatening injuries. Some dog bites can even prevent victims from returning to work for long periods of time.
Complications of Dog Bite Injuries
Dog bites can cause serious health complications, including:
- Bleeding
Dogs’ teeth can puncture deep into the skin and cause severe and even life-threatening bleeding in dog bite victims. - Infection
Dogs may have dangerous bacteria in their mouths that can enter the bloodstream. These bacteria can multiply and cause infections. - Nerve Damage
Severe dog bites can cut through muscle and damage sensitive nerves. If nerves are damaged, it can cause permanent disability.
