A dog bite injury typically injures a person psychologically just as much as it does physically. A dog bite victim may be left with post-traumatic stress syndrome. If the victim is a child and if there is significant disfigurement, the child may suffer from harassment, taunting or ostracizing by peers, which can leave lasting emotional scars.
A serious dog bite injury often leaves lasting physical scars as well. Skin grafts over many months or years may be necessary to restore the person's appearance as effectively as possible. Meanwhile, a disfigured dog bite victim may miss out on many opportunities in life because of the sight of the injury.
In terms of dollars and cents, expenses resulting from a dog bite are likely to include some or all of the following:
- Emergency medical care
- Ongoing medical care
- Plastic surgery
- Wage loss
- Psychological counseling
Even with the best of care, a dog bite victim's wounds, scars and fears may be long-lasting or permanent.
