If a dog's bite has broken human skin you must report it to
the Animal Control Facility in your area. If the dog is
loose they will require the owner to pen the dog for
several days to make sure they don't have any diseases like
rabies. This is the quarantine process. It is important to
do this after a dog bite to protect other people who may get
bitten by a dog so the authorities can determine if the dog
is dangerous and a continuing threat. It is also important
to do this to protect the health of the person who was
bitten.
It is also important to report the dog bite if there was an
injury. This report will be evidence for the insurance
company, and if need be, a jury. The evidence will help you
get all the money you deserve for a bite.

Another way to document the bite is with photos. Be sure
to take good pictures of the wound right away and as the
wound heals and finally if there is scarring left. A trip to
the doctor is also advised in order to get good evidence of
the bite.
Liability is often more of an issue in dog bite cases than
in car accident cases. Be sure to get the name and address
of the owner of the dog as well as the breed. Also
get the name, address and phone number of any witnesses of
the event, as well as the information on anyone saying they
have seen the dog biting someone else.
