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 advertise everything from car accidents to slip and falls or they are not a law firm but an attorney referral service run by marketing companies.

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 of all the dog bite victims are children.
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.
