Nevada Personal Injury Lawyers Representing Accident Victims in Lemmon Valley

Lemmon Valley is a small community in Washoe County, Nevada. It is a northern suburb of one of the state’s entertainment meccas, Reno.

Situated away from the city’s vibrant lights and bustling center, Lemmon Valley is just a short distance from Interstate 395. Nearby are the communities of Spanish Springs, Sun Valley and Cold Springs, all of which are positioned north of Reno. Lemmon Valley is also near the 80 and 580 interstates, which connect to areas like Carson City to the south of Reno, and Sacramento, California to the west.

This census-designated place is home to approximately 5,000 residents, many of whom have canine companions. While many families with domesticated animals never experience an issue, situations involving dog bites and the bodily injury of another party happen more often than most would like.

Dog Bite Injuries in Lemmon Valley

Victims of dog bites can have injuries ranging from very minor to potentially devastating. Sometimes, long-term muscle or ligament damage occurs, which has lifelong consequences for the victim.

According to Nevada law, a dog may be defined as dangerous if:

• The dog’s actions are threatening in nature
• The dog has been involved in two separate, unprovoked attacks in a span of 18 months

Dogs will not be labeled as dangerous if the animal is defending either itself or property from an individual who is, or intends to commit a crime. The label is also nullified if the dog is protecting itself from the harm of a provoking party.

However, a dog may be classified as vicious if:

• The dog inflicted severe bodily harm without any known provocation
• The dog kills someone without any known provocation

It is important to note that owners who intentionally possess a vicious animal could be charged with a felony. In situations like dog bite cases, lawyers may conduct investigations to determine whether the animal has a history of dangerous behavior, or if the owner was the negligent party in the incident.
