🐕 Dog Bite? Here's What Actually Matters

💉 Step 1: Get Medical Attention — Fast

Even “small” bites can turn serious. Infection, nerve damage, even tetanus.
Also: if you don’t get treated, insurance will use that against you later.

🧠 Plug Tip: No treatment = “not serious” in their eyes.

📸 Step 2: Take Photos of Everything

• The wound (before and after treatment)

• The scene where it happened

• The dog, if possible

• The owner’s address, ID, or phone number

You’re building evidence in real time. Don’t wait.

🐾 Step 3: Get the Dog Owner’s Info

You’ll need:

• Name

• Address

• Homeowners or renters insurance (yep, that matters)

• Proof of rabies vaccine

If they’re shady or run off — call animal control.

⚖️ Step 4: Call Us Before You Talk to Insurance

They’re not your friends.
They’ll try to say:

• You provoked the dog

• You were trespassing

• “It’s just a nip”

Nah. Let us handle the games.

💸 Can You Get Paid for a Dog Bite?

Yes — and fast. Depending on the case, you may be entitled to:

• Medical bills

• Lost wages

• Pain & suffering

• Permanent scarring

• Emotional trauma (especially with kids)

Final Word:

Don’t shrug off a bite.
Don’t let the owner gaslight you.
Don’t give a recorded statement.
Just plug in — and let us handle the rest.
