Common Types of Dog Bite Injuries in Iowa (Part B)

Depending on the severity of your injuries, your treatment could include any of the following:

antibiotics to treat infections - your doctor might wait for signs of infection before prescribing antibiotics. Signs include redness, swelling and oozing;
irrigation to clean wounds;
stitches;
tetanus shot;
orthopedic surgery; and/or
reconstructive surgery.

It would be in your best interest to have a Des Moines dog bite lawyer go over your case and discuss the compensation to which you may be entitled for medical expenses and pain and suffering.

Dog Bite Statute in Iowa

According to Iowa law, a dog owner is liable for injuries caused if their dog attacks or attempts to attack anyone, except in situations where the injured party was doing something unlawful, such as breaking into someone's home.

If you are injured as a result of being chased by a dog in Iowa, the dog's owner can be liable. For example, the dog's owner would be liable if their dog chases you into the street and a car hits you or if you trip and sprain your ankle while trying to get away from the dangerous animal.

However, if the dog that chased you has rabies, the owner would not be liable unless they knew the dog had rabies.

How a Des Moines Dog Bite Lawyer Can Help You File a Claim

If a Des Moines dog bite lawyer determines that you have a legitimate case, they will conduct an investigation to gather evidence, assess your injuries and get witness statements to build a solid personal injury claim.

Since dog bite cases can be complex, you should call a Des Moines dog bite lawyer soon after you receive medical treatment so they will have ample time to work on your behalf while you focus on recuperation.
