What to Do After a Dog Bite
The steps you take after getting bitten by a dog can affect the rest of your life, so our lawyers recommend that you do all of the following after a dog attacks you or your child.
Clean the Wound
Dogs carry a lot of bacteria in their mouths, so their bites easily become infected. Thoroughly clean out the wound with mild soap and water as soon as you can after the bite. Avoid using hydrogen peroxide, however, since it kills healthy tissue and can contribute to scarring.
Get Medical Care–Even if the Wound Looks Minor
You should always seek medical care after being bitten by a dog because you may need antibiotics to prevent infection, the wound may be deeper than you realize, and the medical records help strengthen your case to get compensation for the attack.
One thing to know about rabies is that it’s totally preventable if you get vaccinated after a potential exposure, but once symptoms show up, it’s 100% fatal.
If you can’t get proof that the dog that bit you was current on its rabies vaccinations, you’ll need to get the shots to keep you safe from the deadly disease.
Report the Attack
You should report your dog bite to the Animal Control Department of the City of Dedham. Their job is to protect Dedham residents and animals alike, so they need to know about potentially problematic pets.
Additionally, the report will serve as further evidence of the attack to strengthen your case.
