Question:
What should I do after a dog bite in Buffalo?
Answer:
If you’ve been bitten by a dog, or your child’s been bitten by a dog in the state of New York, one of the things you want to do is immediately go to the proper medical facility to get treatment, whether that’s the emergency room or your own doctor. It’s important to get immediate medical treatment.
The second thing you want to do is you want to contact your local health department. The health department will have on file whether or not that dog has had his or her shots. Hopefully, you will not need rabies shots, but you want to make sure that dog has had its shots, so that you can be protected.
The next thing you want to do is contact us to make sure that your rights are protected. A lot of people will know the dog owner of the dog that bit them or the dog that bit their child, and they feel kind of odd in talking to the person about the dog that just bit them or their child. It’s very important that you contact us so we can act as your representative in contacting that person that’s responsible for that vicious dog.
