New Mexico dog bites happen every day. These injuries result in permanent disfigurement and psychological scarring. Keller & Keller understands the vicious propensity of certain breeds and concentrates in pursuing justice from negligent dog owners.
Over 1,000,000 dog bites are treated at medical facilities across the country each year, and the number is increasing. The growing problem of serious injuries due to dog bites, particularly involving children, has become a national concern. So much so, that the third full week of May has been designated "National Dog Bite Prevention Week," with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Veterinarians Association, and the United States Postal Service working together to educate the public about this growing national threat.
Injuries from dog bites can be serious, or even fatal. Children, many times, are the victims. Due to their small size, children are usually bit around the face, head, or neck which often cause permanent scarring and disfigurement as well as serious injury.
