Any dog bite incident – including a dog attack in The Villages, Ocala or anywhere in Central Florida – can be painful, frightening, and in some cases, life-threatening or disfiguring. Dog bite victims of any age may be traumatized as well as injured. Children in particular may suffer from lifelong anxieties after being attacked by dogs. When they end up with facial scars or other types of disfigurement, they often become subjects of teasing. They may be ostracized or laughed at by classmates. Experts also say that young women also tend to suffer socially and perhaps professionally, perhaps more than other segments of the population, when they are scarred and disfigured. Of course, psychological trauma and scarring can be harmful to man or woman, boy or girl. It is important to get a thorough medical evaluation after a traumatic animal attack. kinglawfirm.org (352)261-6648
