What should I do if I or my child was bitten by a dog? | California Dog Bite Attorney

Obtain immediate medical attention; ensure that other people do not remain in danger from the same dog while you attend to the injured person.
Ensure that your child is assessed for emotional stress and obtains a referral for counselling if this is required. Talk to your child and monitor their behaviour even long past the incident.

Instruct other children and bystanders to Be a Tree and remain still and quiet if the dog is still in the area.
Animal bites can easily become infected so a visit to the doctor is essential if the skin was broken.
