Great Dane Bites

Great Danes are one of the largest and tallest dog breeds in the entire world, with a prior minimum AKC recommended weight of 120 pounds for males and 100 pounds for females. Although the AKC has dropped the weight requirement, Great Danes are still known for their broad stature as well as their sturdy build.

Great Danes are, in general, very friendly dogs, which have earned them the nickname “gentle giant.” Despite their mild temperaments, however, any dog can bite. The chance of a Great Dane becoming aggressive can increase when the dog is not properly cared for, socialized, and/or trained by the owner.

If you are the victim of a Great Dane attack, the harm you experience may be significant due to the size and force of the dog.  if the bite is due to the owner’s negligence, the dog’s owner may be responsible for your losses, including paying for your medical costs. However, you’ll need to consult with a dog bite attorney for assistance in order to protect your rights. Call us at (713) 932-0777.

Injuries From Animal Bites

For all victims of any dog bite, potential injuries may include bruising, lacerations and cuts, and broken or fractured bones. Finally, disfigurement, permanent scarring, and even death could result from a Dane attack.
