In Los Angeles, dog bite attorney Stephen Counts sees the problem clearly. There are too many people not taking responsibility — TRUE responsibility — for their pet dogs. "It's not just about feeding, walking, grooming and cleaning up after your dog," says Counts. "They bite. And when your dog bites someone, you're responsible. And often liable for damages," he adds.
As a Los Angeles dog bite attorney, Stephen Counts knows there is an epidemic of dog bites in this country. "Annually, it's around 5 million people," says Counts of the number of people in the U.S. who are bitten by dogs. According to Counts, as many as 800,000 need medical attention, and about 1,000 per day need treatment in emergency rooms. "Most of those who need medical care are kids," adds Counts, "And half of them are bitten in the face."
Los Angeles dog bite attorney Stephen D. Counts also knows that dog bites cause about $1 billion in losses annually. With $300 million covered by insurance, uncovered losses to this country are $700 million per year. "When people are hit with losses like these, the person responsible should be made to actually TAKE responsibility," says Counts.
