Prevent personal injury from dog bites with these tips

What can you do to prevent the devastating dog bites that our Toledo, Ohio personal injury attorneys see on a regular basis? Being smart around dogs could help you avoid serious personal injury.

Tips from the Humane Society on how to prevent a dog bite include standing still instead of running away from an approaching dog and refraining from waving arms or yelling at the animal.

If a dog is starting to attack you, the American Kennel Club instructs the victim to curl up on the ground in the fetal position, using the hands to cover the face and major arteries in the neck, and not to make eye contact with the dog.

The AKC also recommends leaving alone dogs that are sleeping, eating, or caring for their puppies in order to prevent personal injury from dog bites. Encourage children to ask permission before petting any dog, and never leave a child unattended with animals.
