On 3/30/19, your attorney for dog bites in Lackawanna County was contacted by a father whose daughter had just been attacked by a neighbor’s dog. The child was playing in her front yard when a man walked by with his dog on a leash. She asked if she could pet the canine.
The dog owner claimed that the dog was “friendly” and invited her to interact with the dog. As she approached the dog, it jumped up and bit her on the face and neck. The Lackawanna County dog bite lawyer advised the father to immediately take his daughter to a local hospital and/or Urgent Care Center for medical treatment.
