Common Injuries Suffered in Fort Collins Dog Attacks
Dog attacks cause thousands of severe injuries in the United States each year. Young children and the elderly are the most at risk of suffering life-threatening injuries in a violent dog attack. When one or more dogs attack a victim, the following types of injuries may be sustained from the animal’s teeth, jaws and claws:
In addition, if a dog jumps up and knocks a victim over, it can cause fall injuries such as hip fractures, a sprained wrist and head trauma. Physical injuries are not the only risk of a dog attack; many victims also suffer emotional harm, psychological trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder.
Colorado Dog Bite Law
In Colorado, the law holds pet owners strictly liable for most dot bite injuries and resultant damages. Colorado Revised Statutes, Section 13-21-124 states that a person who suffers serious bodily injury (or the representative of a person who dies) from being bitten by a dog while lawfully on public or private property is entitled to bring a civil action to recover economic damages against the dog owner, regardless of the owner’s knowledge of the viciousness or dangerous propensities of the dog.
Under this law, it is not necessary to prove that a pet owner knew or should have known that the dog might bite. Proving that the owner was negligent, or failed to use an appropriate level of care to prevent the dog attack, is also not necessary in most cases. If the owner was negligent, however, such as by breaking a leash law in Fort Collins and allowing a dog to run at large, this could be used as evidence in a dog bite case. A successful insurance claim could result in a settlement for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and more.
