We have discussed in several blogs how Irvine dog bite injuries rsult in serious injuries and how the homeowner’s or renter’s insurance of the dog owner is the primary source of recovery. But many Irvine residents don’t realize how often a dog attack can result in a Form of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and that any settlement for the dog bite injuries should include a sufficient amount to provide adequate resources for emotional counseling to ensure that the victim makes a full recovery.
This is especially true in dog bite injuries that involve children. Children approach the world with trust and excitement, and are naturally drawn to interaction with animals such as dogs. Following an attack, dog bite victims can suffer an impact on their psyche that changes their inmost senses of well-being, security and trust. Once outgoing personalities can completely change, becoming fearful of leaving the home, even to go to familiar places such as school or the grocery.
At the Law Officers of Rivers J. Morrell III we understand that a complete plan for dog bite injury recovery must include consideration for emotional counseling as well as long term medical treatment such as multiple plastic surgeries to manage the impact of scarring. If you, your child or someone you love has suffered a dog bite injury in Irvine we invite you to contact us for a free consultation at (949)305-1400.
