1) Remember to keep the dog owner's full name, phone number and home address. This is important if you want to make a damage claim for a serious injury, and also for knowing the dog's medical and vaccination records.
If the dog owner is not co-operating or evading the scene in a serious dog bite incident, call 911 without delay, and try your best to keep the dog owner in place till the authorities arrive.
2) Visit the doctor as soon as possible. For a serious dog attack injury or if unsure, go straight to the hospital emergency. Call 911 if necessary. Save all medical records., and follow doctor's advice closely.
3) Report the incident to the local Animal Control. A List is given in this page. This starts preventive measures, and an investigative record that may be handy later on for your damage claim or for the community's safety.
4) Start preserving evidence.
-
- Take ample pictures and videos of the injury, location and surroundings. Take note of any available video surveillance. Write down or take picture of anything you think relevant to the dog attack injury.
- Save all written and hard evidence like torn clothes, emergency and medical records etc.
If there is any witnesses to the incident, keep their full names, phone numbers and if possible, email addresses.

IF YOUR INJURY IS SERIOUS, THEN AVOID THESE COMMON TRAPS :
- The dog owner, if a total stranger, may try to escape the scene. DO NOT LET THEM GO AWAY without providing you their full name, phone number and home address so that you can follow up at a later stage for a possible damage claim. And we literally mean to you. Calling the authority or the police, though a very good step to take, but simply leaving the matter in their hand may make it difficult to get dog owner's name and address later in order to pursue a claim. Because of various privacy legislations, it can take a lot of pain, money, red-tapes and many months to get the dog owner's name and address, unless you obtain it from the dog owner upfront.
- The dog owner may offer you medical expense and playing the good guy's role, coax you to drop the case. DO NOT FALL INTO THIS, for almost certainly you will end up in a measly bargain, and will get a fraction of what you are entitled to, especially if the dog bite injury is serious.
- Dog owner's insurer may start communicating with you, obtain evidences, asking for statements etc. DO NOT TALK WITH THEM. They may appear awesome friendly, but their sole goal is to deny liability or minimize your damage recovery. Do not fall prey to dog owner's insurer's direct wheedling, especially if your dog bite injury is serious.
