[[{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question","text":"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that more than 350,000 people are treated for severe dog bites in emergency rooms each year. About half of the victims are children under 14. About 30 people die each year from dog attacks. Again, about half of them are children.  Indiana recently ranked eighth in the nation for State Farm insurance\u00a0claims for dog bites. The 109 claims that year totaled $4 million.  Shockingly, most dog bites happen on the owner\u2019s property. Victims are typically friends or family of the owner. In most deadly cases, the victims were vulnerable because they were too young or old to fight off the dog. No one else was present to intervene. The dog was not spayed or neutered and was living at the property but was not a family pet.","@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/dog-bite\/#Answer"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","text":"Any dog could potentially attack someone, but some breeds tend to be more aggressive than others.

For example, they might have kept a dog that was known to be aggressive or failed to restrain the dog.  Additionally, demonstrate that you had a right to be at the location where the attack occurred and that you did nothing to provoke the attack. If a dog bit your child, try to show that the child could not have reasonably known that their actions would cause the dog to attack.","@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/dog-bite\/#Answer2"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question3","text":"Yes, under Indiana\u2019s civil Statute of Limitations, victims usually have only two years after the date of a dog bite to file a lawsuit for their injuries.","@id":"https:\/\/www.truittlawoffices.com\/dog-bite\/#Answer3"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org","@type":"Answer","name":"Answer Question4","text":"Yes, dog bite cases are considered personal injury cases in Indiana.
