If you have fallen victim, follow these immediate steps before anything else!
Make sure you have received proper medical treatment at a hospital emergency room, urgent care center or your doctor’s office
Give an accurate account of how you were injured and whose dog was involved, if known
Promptly report the bite to animal control or local law enforcement so an official record is created to document the event
Provide as much information as possible to identify the dog and its owner, if known (to aid the authorities to determine if the animal has been properly licensed and vaccinated)
Provide details of how and where the incident happened
Take several photographs of your injuries as soon as possible, or if you can’t, Attorney Mark Sucher will be happy to take photos for you
Don’t apologize for taking legal action, you have been hurt and Michigan law protects you
