Dog Bite Statistics By Breed In 2022

Dog Bites – An Overview in the U.S.

Since dogs are such a common part of our lives, it’s no surprise that we see a lot of them out and about. And with so many dogs out and about, it’s inevitable that some of them will end up biting someone. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), around 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs each year in the United States. That’s a lot of people!

Our law firm, Winkler Kurtz LLP, has been serving victims of dog bites with the help of our Long Island dog bite lawyers for over 25 years. Our team specializes in the area of personal injury, and we’d be happy to offer you assistance in getting the legal representation you need. Of course, we can also determine whether or not your case has eligibility. Proving another parties’ negligence will be paramount during your dog bite case.

Understanding Dog Bite Statistics – As Of 2022

While any dog can potentially bite, some breeds are more prone to it than others. In order to help you be aware of which breeds might be more dangerous, we’ve put together a list of the most common dog breeds that cause bites in the United States:

  1. Pit bulls
  2. Rottweilers
  3. German Shepherds
  4. Huskies
  5. Labradors
  6. Golden Retrievers
  7. Boxers
  8. American Staffordshire Terriers
  9. Bullmastiffs
  10. Cane Corsos

While any of these breeds could potentially bite, it’s important to remember that not all dogs of a certain breed will act aggressively. It’s always important to be aware of your surroundings and take caution when interacting with unfamiliar dogs. Should you ever suffer a dog bite injury, be sure to seek medical attention right away.

Hiring Dog Bite Lawyers 

If you have been bitten by a dog and would like to explore your legal options, consider contacting a personal injury lawyer. A good lawyer will be able to advise you on whether or not you have a case and can help you seek the damages you may be entitled to. Our personal injury lawyers have years of experience representing dog bite victims and can help you get the compensation you deserve.

I cannot say enough about Rich and his staff. Everyone was more than accommodating from day one. You are treated like you matter, and not just another case for their firm. Rich offers advice every step of the way to get the most out of your case while still letting YOU choose which options are best. Coming from someone who has dealt with other attorneys, none compare to Mr. Winkler. His knowledge, and attitude are second to none. I would recommend Rich to anyone with an accident case. Believe me, you are in good hands. Thank you Rich and staff. Could not have asked for more!!

- Rob Pearsall

To Whom It May Concern, I’m a union painter and was badly hurt when I was involved in a workplace accident on a job site in Manhattan. I hired Richard Winkler to represent me and they have been great. He and his staff keep me informed and are making sure that I can continue to be able to feed my family and to keep everything going, they are on my side no doubt about it. Needless to say this didn’t go unnoticed to my family. Visiting the office was always a positive experience both welcoming and professional. I would recommend this firm to anyone in need of caring compassionate legal representation.

- Elissa Rand

The experience that I got from Richard Winkler was absolutely the best, In the beginning I was hesitant because you hear of bad stories about attorneys, but the turning point for me was when the most amazing, caring, person sat down and explained everything to me Mr. Winkler’s paralegal Dana Randazzo. This team answered all my phone calls handled all my paperwork in a quick manner there were never any surprises and they were on top of everything with the insurance companies and anything else associated to my case I highly recommend this law firm to anyone you will not be disappointed and I just wanted to say thank you for all that you have done for me Mr Winkler!
