If you own a dog, you carry the responsibility of following the dog bite laws in the city in which you live. Almost every city has a set of laws that apply to dog owners. In Flint, there are a set of laws that apply to dog owners and they can be found in the Flint Township Ordinances. The Flint dog bite laws include:

Sec. 6.14-4. Domestic animals running at large.

(a) It shall be unlawful for any person owning, keeping, or harboring or having charge of any domestic animal to suffer or permit the domestic animal to run at large.    

(b) A domestic animal shall be deemed to be running at large when the domestic animal shall wander unrestrained on any street, alley, park or public place upon any private property other than that of the person owning, keeping, harboring or having charge of such domestic animal. A domestic animal shall be considred restrained if the domestic animal is on a leash no longer than eight feet and that leash is held by a person of sufficient size to control the domestic animal.

Sec. 6.14-7. Standards for keeping vicious dogs.

The keeping of vicious dogs will be subject to the following standards:

(1) Leash and muzzle. No person shall permit a vicious dog to go outside its kennel or pen unless such dog is securely leashed with a leash no longer than four feet in length. No person shall permit such a dog to be kept on a chain, rope or other type of leash outside its kennel or pen unless a person is in physical control of the leash. Such dogs may not be leashed to an inanimate object such as a tree, post, or building. Any dog on a leash outside the dog’s kennel must be muzzled by a muzzling device sufficient to prevent such dog from biting a person or other animal.

(2) Confinement. A vicious dog shall be securely confined indoors or in a securely enclosed and locked pen or kennel, except when leashed and muzzled as provided in subsection (1) of this section. Such pen, kennel or structure must have secure sides and a secure top attached to sides. All structures used to confine such dogs must be locked with a key or a combination lock when such animals are within the structure. Such a structure must have a secure bottom or floor attached to the sides of the pen or the sides of the pen must be embedded in ground to a depth of no less than two feet. All structures erected to house such dogs must comply with all zoning and building regulations of the township. All such structures must be adequately lighted, ventilated and kept in a clean and sanitary condition.

The victim of a Flint dog bite will most likely file a report with the local Flint police or local Animal Control agency. When a report is filed, it is necessary to obtain the report. For a report filled with the Police Department in Flint, you should request the Animal Control report at the following location:

Flint Police Department, 210 E. Fifth Street, Flint, MI 48502

Our Flint dog bite lawyers handle lawsuits for victims of dog bites and dog attacks.  The injuries from these attacks are often significant.  Many result in nerve damage and significant scars and disgifigurement.  Many of these scars are permanent.

Dog bite wounds that bleed typically result in scars.  Some types of skin produce keloid scars (i.e., scar tissue grows out of control, frequently producing raised, disfiguring scars). Small scars may fade away. Otherwise, scars may be improved but never removed. The type and severity of the scar depends on many factors, some of which are unrelated to the injury and involve our genetic predisposition. The severity of the injury also plays an important role in the severity of the scar.

Special consideration is given to dog bite injuries to the head and neck because of cosmetic issues and the complexity of tissue, muscle and bone structures in these areas.  The central target area for the face includes the lips, nose, and cheeks.  These injuries often require more complex medical treatment.

 Repair of the wounds may require simple closure, removal of injured tissue, and reconstructive surgery. Sometimes completely severed tissue can be replaced as a graft or reattached with microsurgical repair of tiny blood vessels. Sometimes doctors have to move other tissue into the defect to close or recreate the disfigured feature. Such reconstruction may need multiple operations over several years.

 Scars may be improved but most are never completely removed. Other techniques used to improve the deformity include dermabrasion (sanding of the skin), pressure scar modification, and camouflage make-up.

A victim of a dog bite attack is entitled to compensation under Michigan law from the owner or keeper of the dog for the injuries suffered in the attack.  The amount of the settlement depends on the severity of the injuries, the type of medical treatment, and the medical expenses.  Injuries, like scars, which are permanent give rise to larger settlements.
