Estas tres incluyen (1) Axonotmesis; (2) Neurotmesis; y (3) Neurapraxia. Axonotmesis Esto ocurre cuando se produce un aplastamiento grave del tejido. Por ejemplo, la mordedura de un pit-bull o de un perro policía puede causar este tipo de daño nervioso. Desde el punto de vista médico, se considera un tipo grave de lesión nerviosa, que puede provocar problemas a largo plazo y requerir tratamiento. En algunos casos, el daño no es reversible. Neurotmesis Esta categoría se considera la más grave de todos los tipos de lesión nerviosa. Cuando se produce este tipo de lesión, el nervio real se corta por completo, dejándole con un daño permanente.

A menudo no es permanente y la recuperación es casi segura. Este tipo de lesión se refiere más a la compresión del nervio que a su pérdida o seccionamiento.

Responsabilidad civil del propietario

In certain cases homeowners and apartment building owners are held responsible when they permit a dog which they know have vicious properties to remain on the property. Homeowners are required to take steps to secure the property and avoid escape, which can lead to serious injuries. The use of a strong leash or brick laid walls are necessary when attempting to contain dogs with the propensity to escape. When homeowners fail to take measure to protect against pedestrian attacks they will be held responsible for injuries which result.
