Animal Attack Statistics
Most people are familiar with dog bite injuries. Cats, snakes, ferrets and other pets also injure people every year. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Wonder Database, the animals that most commonly caused fatalities between 1999 to 2014 were:
- Horses, cows and other large mammals — 1,163 fatalities
- Hornets, wasps and bees — 921 fatalities
- Dogs — 486 fatalities
Americans are more likely to die of a dog attack than from a lightning strike, according to the National Safety Council.
Injured Due To An Animal Attack And Have Questions? We Can Help, Tell Us What Happened.
Physical Scars
Animal bites can result in permanent scars from puncture wounds, scratches, and lacerations. Plastic surgery may be required to repair the damage. After the wound heals, most scars are flat and pale, though still visible. If scars do not heal properly, they may develop permanent ridges. Large, raised, discolored areas of tissue called keloids can form. These scars may require additional surgery to remove.
Emotional Scars
Animal attacks can cause permanent psychological scars. Many victims of animal attacks are children, who can develop Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and a lifelong fear of dogs and other animals. Adults are not spared from the emotional wounds of animal attacks. The trauma can affect one’s personal relationships and ability to perform certain jobs.

Disfigurement and Disability
Dog bites and animal attack victims can suffer disfiguring loss of tissue. They can cause disabilities ranging from loss of sight and hearing to amputation and paralysis. These conditions can prevent the injured person from returning to the lives they led before the accident and limit their future options.
