Every year, approximately 800,000 people in this country are bitten by dogs. Of those injured by dogs, 386,000 are bitten severely enough to require treatment in an emergency room at a hospital. While some people believe that certain breeds are inherently \u201cvicious,\u201d this is false. Virtually any breed of dog may attack or attempt to bite at anytime. Sadly, dog bite injuries are highest for children in the 5 \u2013 9 year age group, and the wounds are often around the head, face, and neck area. A dog bite can result in permanent, disfiguring scars. In 2012, more than 27,000 people underwent reconstructive surgery as a result of being bitten. The most common reasons a dog may bite or attack are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The dog is fearful for it\u2019s own safety<\/li>\n<li>The dog mistakenly perceives danger and is protecting it\u2019s owner<\/li>\n<li>The dog is protecting it\u2019s owner\u2019s territory<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The dog is eating and protective of it\u2019s food<\/li>\n<li>The dog feels threatened and cornered and has no alternative<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you or a loved one has been bitten by a dog, it is particularly important to retain the services of a skilled and knowledgeable personal injury attorney, because the Oregon statutes that govern dog bites can be confusing.
