U.S. Dog Bite Fatality Statistics | Marietta Dog Bite Lawyer

23 people were killed by dog attacks in the United States in 2008.  Here is an amazing statistic underscoring how dangerous pit bulls are - Pit bull type dogs are responsible for 65% of fatal dog attacks despite only making up 2% of the dog population.

In 2008 only one U.S. citizen over the age of three was killed by something other than a pit bull.  70% of fatal dog attacks involved children under the age of 11.

78% of fatal dog attacks occured on owner property.  Conversely 22% occured off owner property.  On owner property attacks are attacks that occured on the property where the dog lived.  Off owner property attacks occur on other people's property.
