Should I Report Dog Bite To Authorities In West Palm Beach Before Contacting Attorney?

Yes, reporting the incident is an important early step. After seeking medical treatment, you should notify the West Palm Beach Police Department and Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control so an official record is created and the dog can be quarantined for observation. This documentation may prove valuable in your dog bite claim by establishing that the incident occurred, identifying the animal and owner, and triggering any prior dangerous dog history on record.
