Class covers:

• What constitutes a "dog bite"
• Steps to take after you or your dog have been bitten
• Who pays medical and veterinary bills
• Liability of the owner when a dog bites a person
• Liability of the owner when a dog bites another dog
• When to get help from a personal injury attorney who specializes in dog bite injuries

If you are detained, and you have children at home who depend on your for their care, you and your family should be prepared.
