What should I do after I’ve been bitten and attacked by a dog?

The first thing you should do is seek medical treatment if it’s needed. Also, make sure that you report this dog bite or attack to the appropriate authorities.

06How Long Do I Have to Settle My Case?
There is no strict time limit on settling a personal injury claim. However, there are restrictions on the amount of time you have to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, you must file your personal injury lawsuit within two years of the date of the accident. The time it takes to settle a case depends on the circumstances surrounding the accident and the motivations of both parties. These cases can last from a few months to several years.
