Do I need to go to the hospital for a dog bite?
You need to go to the hospital after a dog bite if you are injured. No lawyer can give you medical advice, but if I was bitten by a dog and the bite punctured skin I would definitely go to the hospital. It is important to see a doctor and have the injuries evaluated. Dogs sometimes carry diseases and a bite requires specific treatments. Better to be safe than sorry. It will also help you document your injuries for a case against the dog owner.
