Los dueños de perros no sólo son responsables de mantener a sus mascotas a salvo, sino también de que éstas no causen daños a terceros. Los Pit Bulls y otros perros de razas grandes, consideradas en algunos casos potencialmente peligrosas, pueden causar lesiones graves si atacan. Se estima que, en la actualidad, existen en los Estados Unidos más de 60 millones de perros que son mascotas. La inmensa mayoría tiene dueños responsables que se aseguran de que sus perros tengan el entrenamiento adecuado y estén controlados para evitar lesiones a otros o al mismo animal. Desafortunadamente, también existen dueños irresponsables de mascotas que pueden llegar a poner a otros en riesgo de sufrir lesiones por un ataque canino, al no tomar las medidas adecuadas que lo eviten.

De acuerdo con el portal dogbite.org, se estima que aproximadamente 1,000 estadounidenses son atendidos cada día en centros de atención de urgencias por mordeduras de perros. Además, en promedio, 9,500 personas son hospitalizadas cada año por lesiones sufridas por ataques de este tipo de animales, registrándose incluso 39 muertes en 2017. Estas estadísticas revelan la frecuencia de las lesiones por mordedura de perro en las que, si bien muchas de ellas ocurren a miembros de la familia conviviente con el mismo animal, otras tantas afectan a visitantes de la casa o a extraños en la calle. Cuando un perro ataca o muerde a una persona, el dueño es responsable de cualquier lesión causada por éste.

Tipos de lesiones por mordeduras de perros

Evidentemente, una mordedura de perro implica dientes y perforaciones en la piel de la víctima. Cualquier perro, de cualquier tamaño, puede causar daño en la piel y en tejidos debido a su mordedura. Según el Centro de Control de Enfermedades (CDC, por sus siglas en inglés), las víctimas de mordeduras de perros también deben preocuparse por las infecciones y enfermedades que pudieran transmitirse, incluso en casos de mordeduras pequeñas como, por ejemplo, la rabia, SARM (Staphylococcus aureus resistente a la meticilina), el tétanos y la infección por pasteurella, entre otras. Además, las razas grandes como pitbulls, rottweilers y pastores alemanes pueden causar lesiones adicionales cuando atacan, entre las que destacamos:

  • Fracturas óseas
  • Muerte
  • Desfiguración
  • Cicatrices
  • Desgarro de tejidos y músculos

Las lesiones por ataques de perros pueden requerir atención médica prolongada que incluya intervenciones quirúrgicas, medicamentos, hospitalizaciones y cirugías estéticas. Casi la mitad de las víctimas de ataques de perros son niños, lo que provoca que pudieran tener que vivir con las cicatrices producidas por el resto de sus vidas. Si usted o su hijo han sido víctimas de un ataque de perro, necesita conocer sus derechos, así que comuníquese hoy mismo con el bufete legal que Dwayne L. Brown tiene en Atlanta, donde analizaremos su caso y las opciones de presentar una demanda por lesiones provocadas por un ataque de perro o la reclamación para que reciba la indemnización que le compense por el daño sufrido.

  • $11,500,000

    Our client’s vehicle stalled on the highway in the Atlanta metro area due to a mechanical issue. They activated their hazard signals and waited for help. A commercial 18-wheeler approached but failed to notice the stalled car and slammed into it from behind. The gas tanker overturned, spilling 9,000 gallons of fuel and igniting a fire that engulfed both vehicles. Both the truck driver and our client lost their lives. The trucking company argued that the crash was partly our client’s fault because their vehicle had stalled. We countered by showing that commercial drivers have a heightened duty of care, including knowing how to safely react when approaching a disabled vehicle, and that the truck driver failed to take those precautions. The case resolved confidentially with an $11,500,000 settlement for the victim’s family. The recovery provided critical financial support for the decedent’s two children, helping cover immediate expenses, education, and future needs through a structured settlement.

  • $2,650,000

    Our firm represented the family of a deceased armed services veteran who was tragically killed in a tractor-trailer collision. The crash occurred because the commercial driver failed to properly use the required warning triangles to alert oncoming traffic. Early on, there was uncertainty about whether the veteran could have avoided the crash. Liability was heavily contested; the defense argued the crash might have been avoidable and not solely the truck driver’s fault. We encouraged a full investigation, analyzing speed, driving conditions, and compliance with federal trucking safety regulations. That work revealed the commercial driver had violated those regulations. By uncovering clear regulatory failures, we built a strong claim to hold the trucking company accountable. The case resolved for $2,650,000, bringing critical financial security to the veteran’s family. The recovery gave them resources to cover immediate expenses and helped create stability for the decades to come.

  • $1,876,000

    In Chattanooga, our client, a professional truck driver, was killed in a crash caused by another truck driver who was driving far below the posted speed limit. The slow-moving truck gave no warning: no hazard lights or signals indicating it was traveling unusually slowly. Our client collided with the vehicle and, tragically, both drivers died in the crash. The defense argued that, despite the other driver’s unsafe speed, our client should have taken evasive action. Our team countered by demonstrating how the lack of hazard signals and failure to indicate the danger created an unreasonable and unexpected road hazard, directly leading to the collision. We secured a $1,876,000 settlement for our client’s family. A significant portion was structured to provide long-term stability for his surviving minor child, including funds set aside for education and a monthly allowance to help with ongoing financial needs.

  • $1,000,000

    In Alabama, a father on his way to work was killed when a commercial driver failed to yield the right of way. The truck veered left directly into our client’s path, forcing his vehicle under the trailer. The impact caused a fire that claimed the lives of everyone inside. We represented the estate on behalf of the man’s only child, a minor left without their father. Our team investigated the accident thoroughly to confirm liability and secure maximum compensation. The case concluded with a $1,000,000 settlement, representing the full insurance limits available. These funds created crucial financial stability for the child, offering support for immediate needs and future opportunities in the absence of their father’s income.
