It is not uncommon for a seriously injured victim of a dog bite to suffer from mental anguish and emotional trauma in the wake of a dog attack. Being severely bitten by a dog can be an extremely violent, terrifying, painful, and distressing event with long-term effects on one’s mental health. Dog bite wounds which affect children or that result in disfigurement, scarring, or disability are even more likely to be accompanied by emotional trauma.
If you or a loved one was injured by a dog bite in California, you may find it helpful to understand the signs and symptoms of emotional trauma. These symptoms can vary depending on the age of the victim.
Emotional wounds can be as painful as physical wounds, and they require just as much medical care and healing. If you or your child was injured in an Orange County dog attack, you could be owed compensation for damages.
