If you or a loved one has been attacked or bitten by a dog you should always seek medical care immediately. If you don't have serious personal injuries and you can remain on the scene you should call local law enforcement and or animal control. Many dog bite accident victims do not obtain enough information about the dog and the owner of the dog including the dog owners address and other important information. If you fail to get the dog owners information you may find it difficult to track down the dog owner if you decide to bring a dog bite legal claim in the future.
