Dog Bite Injuries And Animal Attacks in Colorado Springs

Legal Representation from Attorney Jeremy Loew

Animal attacks and dog bites can result in serious, life-altering injuries, and among these, dog bites are the most common. However, it is important to recognize that injuries may arise from interactions with all types of domesticated animals, including cats, reptiles, and even livestock.

In Colorado Springs and throughout El Paso County, these incidents frequently occur in neighborhoods, parks, and homes—often when a pet owner fails to properly control or restrain their animal.

Children And Dog Bites

Children are particularly vulnerable to animal attacks. Due to their small stature and limited ability to sense danger, children are more likely to suffer severe injuries, such as facial lacerations, broken bones, and traumatic scarring.

In many cases, the psychological aftermath—including anxiety, nightmares, and post-traumatic stress—can be as damaging as the physical wounds. These effects can linger for years and may require professional counseling or therapy to manage.

The Impact Of A Dog Bite

For families, the impact of an animal attack extends well beyond the immediate trauma. Emergency medical treatment, surgical intervention, hospitalization, and follow-up care can generate significant medical expenses. Parents may be forced to miss work, and in some cases, the injuries can lead to temporary or permanent disability.

These challenges place an immense emotional and financial burden on victims and their loved ones.

Colorado Law And Dog Bites

Under Colorado law, animal owners can be held civilly liable for injuries caused by their pets. Colorado Revised Statutes §13-21-124 outlines a form of strict liability for dog owners, meaning that if a dog bites a person and causes serious bodily injury or death, the owner may be held financially responsible—even if the dog had no prior history of aggression. Additionally, claims can be brought on the basis of negligence, especially if the owner failed to follow local leash laws or failed to restrain an animal known to be dangerous.
