Holding Negligent Dog Owners Responsible
Pit bulls, Rottweilers, German shepherds, huskies and Doberman pinschers are sought for their ability to protect their owners; great choices for guard dogs. But the same things that make these breeds excellent guard dogs are what make them the most dangerous breeds of dogs.
Unfortunately, a dog will not only attack someone who is trying to harm them or their family. Sometimes a dog misjudges your actions, or just attacks for no apparent reason at all.

Injuries Sustained in a Dog Attack
Dog bite victims often require some sort of medical attention for his or her resulting injuries, including:
- Cuts and bruises
- Puncture wounds

- Post-traumatic stress disorder
The injuries sustained from a dog attack can also sometimes lead to death of the victim.

Does the dog have a history of attacking people? Was the dog owner irresponsible? These are two of the main factors considered.
