Dog Bite Expert Witnesses

Finding the appropriate dog bite expert for your case can be daunting. Robson Forensic has a team of veterinarians, experienced with investigating dog bite cases.

What Makes a Dog Bite Expert?

There are dog trainers, certified Animal Behaviorists, working dog handlers, veterinarians, and other self-described dog bite experts in the field.

Veterinarians are the only professionals qualified to assess the behavior, health, and training of the dog as facets of the incident. Veterinarians can assess records from vet clinics, behaviorists, and trainers, picking up on nuanced verbiage.

They are also highly experienced with applications of municipal and state dog laws and are best qualified to identify and determine instances of animal abuse and neglect.

Dog Bites & Animal Attacks

Animal behavior, health factors, and environmental conditions are all relevant to assessing causation of animal bite/attack cases. In establishing a standard of care, experts should be qualified to opine on the animal’s history and training, handler qualifications, and industry standards for animal care professionals. Our veterinarian experts are experienced in handling well, sick, and injured animals.

Behavioral & Training Considerations

Veterinarians must make quick assessments of dog behavior up to ≈40 times per day and observe owners acting with animals in both relaxed and stressful settings. They regularly diagnose and treat multiple forms of canine aggression.

When assessing the human application of training aids, veterinarians are best qualified to assess both the application of the aids and the training methods used for companion, service, and working dogs.
