What to Do When You Get Bit by a Dog in Omaha

If you, or a family member, has been attacked by an animal, you should do the following:

1. Treat the wound immediately. Dog bites and scratches can lead to infections. Small/minor injuries can be washed, treated with antibiotic ointment, and covered with a bandage.
2. Seek medical attention. It's important to seek medical attention for deep wounds if you feel faint or weak, cannot stop the bleeding quickly, or if the animal was stray or wild. Infections, rabies, and other diseases are a concern. Request copies of your medical records.
3. Take pictures as soon as possible. In addition to medical documentation from your medical provider, you should have photos of all bites, bruises, scratches, and scrapes incurred during the attack.
4. Identify the dog's owner. If possible, get the owner's contact information. If they are uncooperative, record their address, license plate, or other identifiable information.

• If the owner is not present, you can watch to see where the dog returns to, if possible, or talk to trusted neighbors or witnesses.
• If the dog is a stray (or wildlife), pay attention to where it came from and where it goes so that animal control can locate it quickly.

5. Report the attack to Omaha Animal Control. It is important to report dog bites, or animal attacks, immediately to Animal Control. Try to provide as much information and documentation/proof as possible.
6. File a police report. You may need to file a police report if you intend to sue for dog bite injuries. You will want to have as much documentation as possible.
7. Consult a Personal Injury Lawyer. Seeking a lawyer experienced with dog bite injuries can provide you with the information you need if you plan to press charges or sue the dog owner for dog bites. This might be tedious and costly, but it is one option you can consider.
