Cass County Galveston Dog Attack attorneys
Every year in the United States approximately 800,000 people are in need of medical care as a result of a dog attack. These attacks by man’s best friend are a serious danger to the public health, and can cause significant physical and emotional damage. However, studies over the years have shown that certain breeds of canines are more likely to hurt individuals than other breeds. As a result, many communities are demanding that breeds which are more likely to harm others should be banned or regulated more stringently.

Pets that are more responsible for fatal and non-fatal dog attacks include:
- Pit Bulls
- Rottweilers
- German Shepherd
- Husky-type
These laws, which pertains to a specific dog breed but do not affect any others, are referred to as breed-specific legislation. Examples of such legislation include bans on pit bulls which exists in areas such as Irondale Alabama, or forcing owners of certain breeds to pay annual licensing fees to discourage people from owning breeds which they believe poses a threat to the community. Still, some critics claim that breed-specific legislation are unfair and does little to keep the community safe. They claim that, though fatal assaults appear to be a breed specific problem, other breeds may bite and cause fatalities at a higher rate. They also claim that studies that have shown certain breeds such as rottweilers to be dangerous are flawed because of the difficulty in determining an animal’s breed with certainty.
Although most damage from dogs are minor, some can leave the victim with permanent damage due to serious mauling or even death. Regardless of how minor or serious an injury is, no one should have to suffer because of the negligence of others. Breed-specific legislation helps to protect communities and should be considered as a possible solution to possible attacks from dogs with a history of aggressive behavior.

Punitive Damages in Personal Injury Lawsuits
Punitive damages are awarded over and above compensatory damages and are designed to punish the wrongdoer and to deter similar conduct on the part of others. Punitive damages are awarded only when the defendant’s behavior is willful, intentional, reckless, outrageous or malicious in some way. As a consequence, punitive damages are typically not available in [...]

Usually, nominal damages consist, as the name suggests, of a mere nominal amount of money such as $1 or $10. If you or a [...]
Compensatory Damages in a Personal Injury Claim
Compensatory damages are the most common form of monetary award in successful personal injury lawsuits. This is true because most personal injury lawsuits are based on negligence.
