Dog bites

When a dog bite happens, your child needs an aggressive advocate

A dog bite can be a frightening event for a child, leaving both physical and emotional scars that may take years to recover from.

When a child is injured, you can count on Tolbert Beadle & Musgrave for aggressive legal pursuit of the full compensation allowed under the law. In distress, some Missouri families allow insurance companies to determine what happens next. Don't fall into that trap. Contact us right away.

Dogs should never be left unsupervised around children or babies. Even a trusted family pet may be startled by an unexpected movement by the child, such as accidentally stepping on the dog's tail.

The uneven edges around the wound can make a dog bite difficult to heal from. Years later the scars may become more visible. It is common for children to sustain injuries to the hands as they seek to defend themselves. These can require complex surgery to repair.

And, of course, the terror of such an attack may cause the child to suffer a psychological injury that may affect their ability to sleep through the night, to get along with other kids or in school or cause other anxiety related symptoms.
