There will be medical bills and insurance premiums to pay. There may be costs associated with hospital stays and ongoing care.

Why Do Dogs Bite?
In some situations, victims may have needlessly provoked a dog or another animal into attacking. In most cases, however, bites could have been prevented by more responsible stewardship. Animal attacks occur for any number of reasons. The most common include:- Reactions to stressful or unfamiliar situations
- Believing they are engaged in innocent play
- Feeling threatened or scared
- Feeling ill or startled
- Protecting themselves or their owners
