How common are dog bites in Chicago and nationwide?

Every year, dogs bite millions of people, and other animals can also pose a threat at any time under certain conditions. And while such injuries might seem minor, they are often very serious injuries.

Some of the most common injuries include broken bones, severe lacerations and puncture wounds. Dog bites can easily become infected or damage skin to the point of requiring grafts or reconstructive surgery. Children 5 to 9 years old are especially vulnerable to dog bite injuries. And children under 4 years old often sustain head or neck injuries when they are bitten by a dog. In certain extreme cases, some people die as a result of a dog bite, resulting in a possible wrongful death case.

What are some of the most dangerous dog breeds?

Certain dog breeds are more dangerous than others. Some of the more dangerous dog breeds based on accident and injury statistics include:

  • Pit Bull
  • German Shepherd
  • Rottweiler
  • Doberman Pinscher
  • Alaskan Husky
