Animal Bite Incidents in Los Angeles County

Animal bite incidents, though less frequent than motor vehicle collisions, can lead to serious injuries, infections, and long-term complications if not promptly treated. In urban areas such as Los Angeles, these incidents may involve both domestic pets and stray animals, with dogs accounting for the majority of reported bite cases.

According to the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, thousands of animal bites are reported each year, many of which require medical attention and post-exposure treatment, especially when rabies or severe tissue damage is suspected. Prompt reporting and documentation of the incident are essential to ensure proper public health follow-up and to prevent further injuries.

Victims of animal bites may face medical expenses, lost income, and emotional distress following the incident. Legal assistance can help victims pursue compensation for medical treatment, pain and suffering, and any long-term health consequences.
