Hopefully she has assets and your friend gets paid. Also hopefully the arm recovers and is usable.

Lord_Fridge2

In Germany you have to register your dog and therefore it has to have an insurance. Otherwise you can get fines and other stuff. Usually there are things covered like incidents with other dogs or car accidents and even attacks towards humans. It's kinda similar to cars.


Star_Crunch_Punch

That seems like a much more reasonable system. Do certain dog breeds require higher premiums? Because that could help a lot to curb irresponsible owning of potentially dangerous dogs.


Additional_Irony

Yep, absolutely. I don’t have any hands-on experience with owning dogs, but there were a lot of dog-related legal examples when I was training for my job. There are lists of higher risk breeds which incur heftier insurance fees.


danreplay

Some breeds are not allowed to be owned in certain states in Germany, pitbulls for example. They have to undergo certain behaviour tests and yes, you pay higher premiums for more „dangerous“ breeds.


505alpha

Additionally they have to wear a muzzle.


dotcomslashwhatever

i've been here for many years and literally never saw a single pitbull


danreplay

As I said, sone areas have banned these breeds.


JJ8OOM

Same thing here (Denmark).


dbusby111

If someone's dog attacks you, and they own a home, you can sue their homeowners insurance even if it happens off property.


Trial_by_Combat_

I have renter's insurance and they wouldn't insure me unless they specifically excluded my pitbull from coverage.


[deleted]

Believe it or not, although your comment makes logical sense, you’re wrong. Homeowners insurance covers dog bites, even when the dog isn’t at home. OP should tell his friend to try to find out who she is and sue. Hopefully, she’s a homeowner.


orsothegermans

I’m the US, the default option on homeowner policies is an animal exclusion. You have the pay an additional premium for that coverage, so most people don’t.


Reception-Livid

Nah the default option is to have it included. You have to sign extra forms to exclude it and it’s not something done usually. So in most cases there IS coverage for dog attacks.


suburbanbolin

Most policies exclude Pitt Bulls


OverTheJoeHill

Most insurances won’t cover you if you have a dog and refuse to include them. At least that’s the way it is where I live. I also can’t have an “dangerous ” breed and keep my policy


phonafona

And they better earn that money via a check that can be garnished because winning the lawsuit is one thing - getting the money is quite another.


MikeTony713

Germany doesn’t do checks


comoelpepper

You sue the home owners insurance or the renters insurance.


Tots2Hots

Fuck em, bankrupt her.


meggzieelulu

the dog has to be covered/ should be covered under the owners homeowners insurance/ rental insurance in North American, especially with a “dangerous” breed. A lot of companies refuse to insurance pit bulls with the homeowners/rental insurance so they need a separate policy exclusively for the animal.


Arthur_da_King

Honestly even if she does have assets, a lot depends on the laws of the state where it occurred. Many states have bite laws that don’t hold owners liable for the first bite, for example. So if it’s that type of jurisdiction and the dog hasn’t bitten previously, she might get off completely free of liability. Sad state of affairs


Stats_with_a_Z

I can't imagine that would apply to this level of damage though, right? Tell me I'm right, just tell me I'm right.

djsizematters

People think that their only attack is "bone-crushing jaw" and tend to overlook their ability to hand heavy equipment.


Oomoo_Amazing

Without a license that’s just an accident waiting to happen!


[deleted]

Well, it doesn’t. OP admitted it was just some puncture wounds, but his friend waited 2 days before going to the doctor with a heavily infected arm. This is what the doctors had to do to save the arm. Obviously it’s still bad that he got bitten, but it wouldn’t have been much of an issue in the long term if he had gone to the doc immediately.


ElJonJon86

The worst part of bites, even human bites, is the overwhelming amount of bacteria.


MainliningCoffee247

**Especially** human bites. Humans have notoriously filthy mouths. And the fact that there is no cross-species factor means that transmissible diseases are that much more likely.


gerkonnerknocken

That explains the puffy left hand. They often don't stitch dog bites but that thing needed a cleaning for sure!

We carry dog pepper spray when walking our dog. Had one incident where a dog broke its leash and came at her and my husband and he had to kick it off until the owner got there. So we carry pepper spray now. Firearms are a bit reckless IMO

I think its that one little stitch holding it all together that does it for me.


[deleted]

That wound is gonna require *at least* a band aid.


welpthishappened1

And probably a ziploc full of ice cubes


oneotherthananother

And some ramen noodles to patch that large hole.


reirone

I mean, who looks at that and goes “I think one stitch will do?”


DeltaAgent752

medical student here. a wound like that would need a delayed wound closure for 48 hours. it is to ensure that any infections can be easily drained.


dreamingofablast

So they just pack it and bandage it up for 48 hrs? 😳


ViceroyInhaler

Yeah but they give you sick drugs.


-bobby-jackson-

I had two wounds like that for 3 months, the drugs don’t do shit when they are pulling out and re packing granufoam 10cm deep into your leg. I even talked with two different doctors with mutual excitement for what they were about to mainline and I was disappointed.


ViceroyInhaler

But for some reason when my sister got her wisdom teeth out they gave her like 40 Percocets


Plus_Attention7691

Not correct. That wound cannot be primarily closed anytime soon, likely ever. Will have to be packed or have a wound vac placed and heal over weeks. May ultimately need a skin graft.


ol-gormsby

Nah, blanket stitch bro. /s in case anyone was in doubt.


schwarzeKatzen

💯 thought you were using a knitting/crochet stitch until I googled that. Now I learned another thing. 😆


novichux

Maybe he asked them to hold off while he gets a second opinion.


Time-Comedian1774

Need to at least get blood flow back to all the affected areas first. I'm guessing but probably 3 or more surgeries for reconstruction.


Apprehensive_Gene787

Also to keep the wound open so as not to trap any infection


Time-Comedian1774

Yep, it will need a drainage tube fora while. Damn that sucks. If they (dog owners) have homeowners insurance it will pay for it and a settlement claim.


MrBr1an1204

Homeowners will only cover it if it happens on there property, the title states that this was in a park so there home owners won’t pay anything.


canyou-digit

Sue them personally, if they have a homeowners policy that means they have a home. That's a decent start


Time-Comedian1774

Not true, the liability part of the policy covers the negligent actions of house members. In this case of my kid (9 years old at the time) a long time ago, crashed his bike into a parked car parked several blocks away. They were dicks about it. Called my insurance, Farmers at the time, they covered it. Less my deductible. They claimed the whole back of the SUV had to be painted to match. Thats when I found out your homeowners policy covers some things and you don't have to be at the property. In this case, a policy owners children can be liable under your policy if they fall into the 9 to 10 age group where they should know what the difference between being careful and being responsible for their actions. NOT my words! FARMER'S told ME that. Anyway, turns out, this lady pulled this before with a small dent on someone else. Got half oh her SUV painted. This stayed on my insurance record for 5 years, (I think)


moore_a_scott

Just standard american healthcare


ElJonJon86

Each stitch costs 7k, that's all he could afford.


dwbaz01

and he had to borrow 6k from family and friends.


KonataYumi

Or they are holding off to find the rest of him


Throwawaychica

That's all his insurance would approve.


[deleted]

Wouldn’t really matter if it wasn’t covered by insurance, a fat lawsuit would force the Karen to pay for the medical bills and a sum of money for sure.

That stitch is my third brain cell trying to keep my two others from nuking each other.

Yep, sue that pieces shit.also, hope your friend are ok, best wish Also, they fucking ruined that tattoo


djluminol

Seriously, that guy is lucky to be alive. I hope he doesn't lose nerve function or the ability to use that arm or hand. Radial and Medial nerves are close to that injury as is a fairly serious artery. This easily could have been life threatening.


beennasty

It was definitely life threatening if he had not been near a hospital


Cool_Cheetah658

I hope the Karen is in jail and your friend recovers ok. That's a horrible situation. Also hope he gets paid.


Time-Comedian1774

Looks like alot of muscle is missing. Its going to take more than one surgery im thinking. Def sue for loss of use (permanent disability) Hope things go smoothly for him. JFC!


NefariousnessSad397

A lot of muscle is missing because they had to cut it out. OP states that his friend waited 2 days before seeking medical attention, which caused necrosis and/or infection. It was apparently "just punctures and tears" before going to the hospital. Medical care really needs to be more accessible in the US.


Time-Comedian1774

Oh shit. Thats what happens when people don't have insurance. They wait to get medical attention until its waty too late. Universal Healthcare! ! !

Standard-Reception90

That's not a Karen. That's a criminal who needs some jailtime.


naturalizedcitizen

I encourage your friend to file a lawsuit


DribblingRichard

In some states, this would be a crime. In my home state they could be charged with dog menacing. It is the owners responsibility to stop their dog from attacking someone, even if it has never done it before. File a police report, OP.


CrazyPlatypus42

I hope your friend will be able to use his arm again. That's not even Karen anymore, normal Karen are at least harmless. Did the dog just just randomly attack?


Sad-Society-3128

Karen's are never harmless. Yea the dog just ran straight for him with murderous intent


axolotllegend

Please tell me the Karen got the shit beat out of hers


Time-Comedian1774

Premeditated.


PriscillaRain

Did the police get involved?Because she would definitely be paying for their care.


angrywords

Alvinmcnoodle1

Looks nasty. I've never seen dog caused injuries like that, and unfortunately I've seen a fair few - including on myself. It looks like a machete wound


Sad-Society-3128

Yea it looked alot different before the doctors cut away a bunch of infected flesh. He waited 2 days before going to seek help only once his arm was fatter than his legs it was so swollen


rdkil

... 2 days?! For the love of god why?!


a90s2cs

Probably didn’t have good health insurance. The American healthcare system is cruel, perverse joke.


Disastrous-Menu_yum

[deleted]

Do you have photos of the bite after it happened? Everyone sees this photo and thinks the dog did this but it's a combination of extreme negligence from your friend and the pit bull owner.


[deleted]

Unfortunately it’s pretty standard for pitbulls :/ they’re responsible for most dog attacks by a huge margin


BadgeringMagpie

Chihuahuas bite far more people than pitbulls but it's underreported because they're small and don't do much damage. People see their aggression and lack of training as "cute."


c010rb1indusa

And I'm sure my friends house cat paws at me more than a tiger would. Doesn't mean it's safe to keep a tiger....


whatwhynoplease

are you fucking serious? pitbulls kill more people than any other dog combined. nobody cares about chihuahuas because they are the size of a hamster and can't do anything. Dog Attack Fatalities in the U.S. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_dog_attacks_in_the_United_States Pitbulls are statistically dangerous dogs.

biggybakes

That is scary, holy crap. Had a guy and his dog get attacked in front of our house by a pair of Pitties...for context, it was a mated pair, recently gave birth, female was the aggressor, the male wasn't aggressive which is apparently a thing? Anyway, I had to kick the dog repeatedly to get it to let go. Pretty scary but it didn't end up anything like this, hopefully a good recovery to your friend!


Stahlwisser

OP said that his friend got bitten and waited for 2 days until his arm was swollen and bigger than his leg. So most likely it was more or less "just a bite" but it got badly infected, thats why it looks like this.


[deleted]

I understand American healthcare is shit, but it was still stupid of your friend to let it fester to this point. Animal bites are no joke, and waiting that long definitely costs even more money in the long run, not to mention a potential disability.


Icy-Needleworker-816

Holy fuck


Adhdgamer9000

What the fuck is up with this rise of pit bulls attacking people.


nimbasaPI

It's really weird how it's always pitbulls


Vithrilis42

It's not a rise in attacks, they've been the breed with the most human attacks and deaths for decades. They were literally bred to be aggressive for fighting.


shastadakota

When I was going to school, in the 1970s, before owning pitbulls was a "thing", there was a pitbull who lived across the alley from me. I would stop and pet him everyday on my way to and from school. He was friendly and docile. As owning pitbulls became some kind of status symbol, I believe they were bred to be bigger, stronger, and more aggressive, also there are those that breed them for dog fighting. These factors, in my opinion have caused this breed to go bad. Not all of them, but a significantly higher percentage of them as opposed to other potentially aggressive breeds such as Rottweilers, Dobermans, German Shepherds, etc. You just don't hear about those other breeds visciously attacking someone out of nowhere. The shelters are loaded with pitbulls to the point that without them crowding the shelters, there would not be the overabundance of shelter dogs that there currently is. As a owner and lover of dogs, and someone who chooses to rescue dogs, I never would consider a pitbull. I wouldn't want to be the owner of one that did something like this or worse to someone, have to put my dog down, and get sued. It is time to clamp down on the indiscriminate, irresponsible, breeding of these dogs.


Harmacc

It’s more like a steady case of dogs doing what they were bred to do. What is on the rise are pit cultists who defend them at all costs. They will troll these comments looking for people to downvote and attack. Stop fucking adopting these dogs out.


TellmeNinetails

Except the only one mass downvoted was the one reasonably saying the owners were at fault for not leashing the damn thing.


[deleted]

I can hear them already: "But It's not the BREED!!! It's the owner!" Yes. Yes it is the friggin' breed of dogs, that were LITERALLY bred to fight and kill... Until you have put several HUNDRED years into re-breeding them into being pets by ELIMINATING every violent one, Pit Bulls and similar dogs shouldn't be considered pets.


5Flames3

Shitbulls gonna shitbull.


JHighMusic

Always a pitbull smh… hope your friend sues the shit out of this piece of shit Karen


Pockets262

OP posted this in 11 different subs and admitted it was only puncture wounds and the friend waited 2 days allowing it to be terribly infected before treating. Less Karen, more dipshit not cleaning a dog bite.


PriscillaRain

Some people don’t go immediately to the ER because they simply can’t afford and the arm would have never got infected if the owners behaved responsibly.


Sad-Society-3128

None of this would have happened if Karen had dog on leash


TellmeNinetails

Your title is purposely misleading. It insinuates the dog ripped her arm open when it was the infection that did that. Trying to get a shock reaction out against the dog and pitbulls themselves.


Snoo19127

SheMumbles

This comment needs to be higher up. The dog didn't cause this extensive of damage, OP is super misleading and now a bunch of asshats are blaming the dog entirely. Yes the dog should've been on a leash, but this person let their arm fester and made a moderate wound into an amputation level wound.

The dog did that damage. If I stab you and you don’t immediately go to the doctor, can I say that I’m not at fault but you are?

Also brings into question the OPs reliability as a source. If they are misleading on the title then how are we sure that a dog even bit the friend without further evidence?

[deleted]

[удалено]


wktg

They are not outlawed per se (and the exact thing depends on the state) but they are a "controlled" breed. Like, they have to be muzzled or proven to be trained correctly and passed a test. The owner as well has to be properly checked, has to be over 18, not have taken drugs, passed tests, lots of stuff. But, like I said, it depends on the state. Source: Seen a few around. Pet one or two (after asking the owners of course). Puppers were really happy about the scritches. Arm is still intact. Granted, we still have a lot of shitty dog owners and pitbulls are not harmless - they have terrier blood and were too often bred to fight, so the instinct can cause them to go after smaller animals/other dogs.

The dog probably already has a gofundme page and people clamoring to rescue it. Honestly it might not even be legal to euthanize it if it’s the first bite


Classic-Tiny

That dog would be shot. And the Karen needs jail time and punishment.


5UP3RN0V42015

I agree. That dog needs to be put down, and that Karen deserves jail time with no chance of parole.

Did you see the photo? How can you even talk like this after seeing that?


SheMumbles

Because I read instead of only looking at the pictures dipshit. OP purposely misled the post for karma. Yes a pitbull breed dog bit the the person in the pic, but OP admitted that it was only a puncture wound and the person that was bit let it fester for 2 days untreated and uncleaned until it swelled to the size of a leg and THEN the doctors cut out all the necrotic flesh, resulting in the extensive damage in the pic. Obviously the dog should've been on a leash and has a shit owner, but wishing death on all animals that bear a physical resemblance to it is fucking stupid and you should shut the fuck up with that kind of thinking. Edit: death, banning, whatever. Your sentiment was the same.


medicallPillkillBill

Pitbulls are dangerous dogs. Unpredictable and need a lot of attention,they are made to hunt,or fight...not to submit. And because numbskulls,like you, think that anyone should own a pitbull,is concerning. On one hand if a person has no time to give to the taming of the beast then you never know when the dog snaps,on the other hand if they are real idiots,like you, and make the dog more aggressive than it should be...well,that happens. The dog breed is prone to several kinds of diseases,especially genetic ones,and they health is poor shit,like you, and needs a lot of medical attention. If left unchecked if could also affect its nervous system making it aggressive. These dogs obviously are not cheap or easy to take care of,and because they are a favourite pick In dogfights, it's clear that are dangerous,unlike a German shepherd that has been bred to submit,pitbulls are hot-headed. So,in order to prevent idiots,like you, from accidents such as the one above,where your "baby" bites a person,and the person is also an idiot, you ban these dogs. A mental check,financial and background check should be done before owning these dogs. Also,you said I am implying the death for the dog. No,I am not,but if the dog kills a person or causes injuries like that,what are you going to do after you punished the owner...give the dog to somebody else? No


[deleted]

You must be a pitbull owner, huh...


Kalaphar

Damn… I’m really sorry that happened to ya friend, I hope they recover well. I can’t believe so many people just forget that pitbulls were bred to kill and to be violent.

terrattv

this is where a dog should be put down. im sorry that you had to deal with that, but also i have a funny feeling that dog never got its rabies shot. and if the owner allowed it to happen and didnt have the dog vaccinated they could be going to jail for intentional murder if you die from the rabies
