A March 8 article in U.S. News & World Report reinforces the fact that summer is the time of year when young children are at the greatest risk for dog bites, especially to the most severe bites to the head and neck.

Manassas attorney Jim Parrish has written a new book to help Virginia dog bite victims and other concerned citizens understand their legal rights. The Insider's Guide to Dog Bite Claims in Virginia is a resource to help dog bite victims, their families, and the general public understand the legal process and learn what the insurance companies do not want victims to know.

Dog Bite Statistics
*According to The National Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), dogs bite or attack nearly 2% of the U.S. population, which translates into more than 4.7 million people every year.
*The CDC says that approximately 60% of dog bite victims are children.
*In 2007, there were 32 fatal dog attacks in the U.S., including 1 in Virginia. This number is approximately 200% greater than the average over the last two decades.
“As a parent, I know how it feels to want to keep your children safe,” Parrish says. “While we can't prevent accidents and injuries completely, as parents, we can arm ourselves with information about issues like dog bites. That's why I wrote this book – to educate the citizens of Virginia about this serious issue.”
In The Insider's Guide to Dog Bite Claims in Virginia, Parrish offers facts about dog bites and attacks, explains what insurance companies don't want victims to know, and gives tips for victims on selecting an attorney to represent them.
“Jim Parrish's The Insider's Guide to Dog Bite Claims in Virginia is a truly comprehensive resource,” says Chris Davis, Seattle attorney and dog bite expert. “This book is a ‘must read' for every parent in Virginia, whether their child has been a dog bite victim or not. The information will help inform residents about the legal process and offer resources for finding an attorney in the event that you need one.”
The Insider's Guide to Dog Bite Claims in Virginia is the second in a series of books Parrish is writing to educate Virginians about their rights. He is also the author of The Virginia Car Accident Guide which helps car accident victims understand their rights and identify an attorney to represent them in their cases.
