Any time you are faced with a potentially dangerous situation involving animals such as dogs, which may be aggressive, it is important to know how to go about protecting yourself to avoid being attacked or bitten. When you are dealing with an aggressive dog, there are a few tips available to help with preventing a dog bite or attack that can lead to serious injuries and in some cases, even irreversible damage.
Stay Self Aware
Being self aware of your surroundings at all times is a way for you to prevent a dog bite or attack from occurring. Be sure to take notice of all yards and homes near you while staying actively alert for any animals and potentially dangerous dogs that may be roaming the area near you if you are out walking or simply outdoors anywhere.
Avoid Eye Contact
If you cannot avoid walking past a dog that you do not know or that is not restrained by chains or leashes, it is best to avoid making direct eye contact which can cause the animal to become more aggressive, especially if the dog is simply trying to protect its owners.
Do Not Run
Do not run from a dog that is potentially threatening, as this will often trigger them to attack and become more aggressive. Standing your ground and standing tall and firm is a way for you to prove your dominance and to potentially ward the dog off entirely.
What to Do If You Have Been Attacked?
When you are living in Utah and you have been bitten or attacked by any type of dog, seeking help is possible with an Provo personal injury lawyer. Searching for the right Provo personal injury attorney for your case can be done by asking for a referral from friends and family members locally as well as by conducting a bit of your own research from home, online. Hiring a personal injury lawyer in the case of a dog bite or attack is the best way to guarantee you can get the compensation you deserve to cover any medical expenses and time off you may need to recover from the injuries you have sustained.
