Welcome to
Jeffrey
Harlan Penneys "The
Dog Bite Lawyer" site.
He represents individuals bitten
or attacked by dogs. If you look at all the lawyers who advertise
on the net you will see that when you go to their sites, they

A dog bite is a traumatic event resulting in serious injury. Multiple
deaths are reported each year as a result of the most vicious attacks.
Often a bite will result in permanent scarring, nerve damage and
a significant risk of infection. Many times there is psychological
harm that lasts well beyond the physical injury.
The facts regarding dog bite injuries illustrate the frequency
and seriousness of these events:
Every 40 seconds, someone in the
United States seeks medical attention for a dog bite related
injury.
It is estimated for every dog bite that is
reported, three go unreported.
Nationwide, as many as one
million people annually require medical treatment for dog
bites.
More than 334,000 victims end up in the emergency
room.
More than 4.7 million people, or 2% of the
U.S. population, are bitten by dogs each year.
More than half

National figures
estimate that 60% of dog-bite attacks happen in the home,
either by the family or a friend's dog.
This site is intended
to serve as a comprehensive resource center for dog bite
related legal issues.
