Personal injury attorneys, Audette, Bazar, Cordeiro & Grasso serve victims of personal injury in the state of Rhode Island and posts news and information about car, truck, SUV and boating accidents, medical errors and malpractice, dangerous and defective products - including product recalls, and many other personal injury topics. http://providence.injuryboard.com/tag/Dog+Bites/ <p>I ran across a column written by an attorney in a small Illinois newspaper. Basically, it talks about residents of that state being entitled to compensation when attacked by a vicious dog. While laws in every state differ, the author did offer up some good steps to take if you ever find yourself the victim of a dog bite.</p><p>* Obtain immediate emergency treatment, giving the medical provider a detailed account of the attack.</p><p>* Immediately notify the police and your local animal control department of the attack and insist that a report be completed and the dog be checked for disease and whether it is vicious, to prevent injuries to others.</p><p>* Take numerous, detailed photographs (close-ups) or a video of your injuries.</p><p>* Do not discuss the dog bite attack or your medical condition with any representative of the insurance company for the dog owner, until you have consulted with an attorney.</p><p>* Contact a lawyer with experience in handling dog bite cases. </p><p><br /></p><a href="http://providence.injuryboard.com/property-owners-liability-slip-and-fall/good-advice-for-dog-bite-victims.aspx?googleid=207730">Originally posted</a> at <a href="http://www.InjuryBoard.com">InjuryBoard</a> by <a href="http://www.injuryboard.com/Staff-Writer/">Staff Writer</a> http://providence.injuryboard.com/property-owners-liability-slip-and-fall/good-advice-for-dog-bite-victims.aspx?googleid=207730 Providence Personal Injury Lawyer - Dog Bites Property Owner's Liability (Slip & Fall) Dog Bites Staff Writer Mon, 23 Oct 2006 14:14:12 GMT
